KiwiSaver Scheme
The Retirement Income Simulator:
- Illustrates the effect that variable factors such as contributions, investment returns and retirement income have on the savings you may have at retirement and how long it may last you.
- Uses default assumptions about future investment returns and inflation, which are based on those noted in Part 2 of Schedule 7A of the Financial Markets Conduct Amendment Regulations 2019. You can modify future investment returns assumptions.
- Gives the results in today's dollar values which have been calculated by deflating the projected dollar amounts based on the rate of price inflation of 2% p.a.
- Changes in your personal circumstances;
- Actual future investment returns and inflation; or
- Future changes to the NZ Super and tax regulations.
This simulator does not know the future
The simulator cannot take into account changes in your personal circumstances, actual future investment returns, inflation or future changes to NZ Super and tax regulations.
Reasonable long-term assumptions have been made
The simulator uses default assumptions about future investment returns and inflation which are considered reasonable at the current date based on long-term economic modelling (by Mercer Investment Consulting). You can modify these assumptions.
Results are in today's dollars
Showing results in today's dollars allows you to consider your future retirement income in the context of the cost of today's goods and services and your current standard of living.
The 'today's dollar amounts' have been calculated by deflating the projected dollar amounts based on the rate of price inflation.
