You may think 30 years of retirement is unlikely but at least one member of a 65-year-old couple has a 90% chance of living to 80 or beyond, a nearly 50/50 chance of reaching 90 and a one-in-five chance of turning 95 or older. Living longer affects key post retirement decisions.

If you’re in good health at 65 and have a family history of longevity, your retirement plan should account for 30 or more years of living expenses.

How to use this chart:

  • This analysis assumes you would like to maintain your current lifestyle in Retirement.
  • Go to the intersection of your current age and your closes current (Gross) household Income.
  • Multiply your household income by the figure shown, this is the amount you should have saved by now, assuming you continue to contribute at 10% pa going forward.
  • For Example: A 45 year old with a household Income of €50,000. €50,000 X 2.6 = €130,000.
