Superannuation is a long-term savings plan that allows you to save for your retirement. It is an important part of your financial future, and it is important to understand how much super you can have and still be eligible for the pension.
How Much Super Can I Have?
The amount of superannuation you can have and still receive the pension depends on your age and other factors. Generally, if you are under age 65, you can have up to $1.6 million in superannuation and still receive the full pension. If you are over age 65, you can have up to $1.7 million in superannuation and still receive the full pension.
If your superannuation balance is higher than the maximum amount, you may still be eligible for the pension, but it will be reduced. The amount of reduction will depend on how much your balance is over the maximum.
Can I Still Receive the Pension?
Yes, you may still be eligible for the pension even if you have more than the maximum amount of superannuation. However, your pension will be reduced depending on how much your balance is over the maximum.
The amount of reduction will depend on your age and other factors. It is important to speak to a financial adviser or the Department of Human Services to get a better understanding of how much superannuation you can have and still receive the pension.
