Transition to Retirement
The Transition to Retirement Option (TTR)
How to get a free kick-start for your retirement

pension 10% p.a. of account balance• Can be rolled back to super if required – conditions apply

Case Study Full-Time to Part-Time Work
• Harold has just celebrated his 56th birthday and currently working full time on salary of $80,000
• Harold would like to work part-time so he can play more golf and spend more time with the grand kids but can’t afford the drop in salary income
• His employer is happy to reduce his employment contract to part-time, paying $55,000 p.a.
• Harold has $450,000 in superannuation savings (including $100,000 non-concessional contributions).
![Page 21: Using Transition to retirement pensions](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070601/587f57331a28ab0d378b66d1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Full-Time to Part-Time
• Harold now wishes to work 3 days p.w. Working status Full time Part timeGross income $80,000 $55,000Tax liability $19,147 $10,522After tax inc. $60,853 $44,478

The TTR Part-time Strategy
• As Harold has reached his preservation age 55, he can now take a TTR pension
• Harold rolls over his $450,000 super balance to a TTR pension • To supplement his income, he could draw $19,400 from his
pension.• His annual income will now be as follows:
– New part-time salary $55,000– TTR pension $19,400– Total income $74,400

But what about the impact of negative market movements?
Assume that markets fall on average 3% per year over the next 10 years, does the strategy make a difference?
