Plan your journey to retirement with confidence

When you think of the future and the kind of retirement you want, the numbers can become overwhelming. How much will you need? Will it be enough? What lifestyle will you be able to support? And how long will it last?

Our members ask us this type of questions all the time. And rightly so – they are important questions. But the truth is, the answers are different for just about everybody. What could be considered a comfortable lifestyle for one member, maybe inadequate for another.

That’s why we developed AssistMe - to help you find the answers to critical questions that are relevant to your retirement savings. AssistMe is designed to help each and every member plan for the retirement destination that’s right for them.

Helping you plan your journey to retirement with confidence

AssistMe is part of a suite of interactive digital tools that ESSSuper now offers to help you navigate your journey towards what you may consider a comfortable retirement. It can help you forecast the kind of lifestyle your super will support in retirement. It’s designed to help you project your potential retirement benefits so you can make informed decisions about how to get the most from your super.

If you don’t know where you’re going, how will you know when you get there?

No matter what stage you are at in your working life - just starting out on your career, approaching retirement or anywhere in between - knowing where you stand now and where you want to get to, can really help with your planning. And planning is critical if you want to achieve the best outcome for yourself.

In a few simple steps, AssistMe can help you create a retirement income forecast based on your circumstances that indicates:

your possible final super balance
what your income in retirement may be
what lifestyle that will be able to support
and how long your super may last.

Just as importantly, you’ll also be able to see how making little changes, like making extra contributions, altering the balance of how you invest your super, or working a few years longer, might affect your retirement income forecast.

One of the best things about AssistMe is that we’ve made it easy for everybody to use. Some people are ‘numbers people’. But for most of us, spreadsheets and columns of numbers only confuse, rather than clarify a situation. With AssistMe you see your retirement forecast displayed in easy-to-read graphs and diagrams. It helps make it clear where you are and how much your retirement savings might be. And understanding this retirement forecast is half way to getting you there.

Retirement can deliver some of the best years of your life, but only if you properly prepare for it. AssistMe is here to help all ESSSuper members plan and prepare, to help you achieve the retirement that you want. Using AssistMe can be helpful at any stage of your retirement journey. Whether you want to change your investment approach, or you just want to explore different retirement scenarios, AssistMe is here to help
