Age pensioners who rent privately will struggle financially. It’s worth noting that the ASFA and SCA budgets assume that retirees own their own home outright and are relatively healthy. On the face of it, the figures suggest there is not much difference between a modest/low-spending lifestyle and one based on the Age Pension.
The budget estimates in the table above assume retirees own their home outright. As you can see, this is below even the modest retirement standard. An Age Pension will pay approximately $40,238 per year for couples combined, and $26,689 for singles. A retirement based on the Age Pension generally provides a frugal lifestyle on a tight budget, with most spending at a basic level limited to essential items only.Singles might expect to spend $30,582 per year. For couples aged 65 to 84, a modest lifestyle is estimated to cost around $44,034 per year. A modest retirement necessitates cutbacks in many of these areas, with less discretionary spending but still with the ability to afford a car and enjoy most leisure activities and some travel.Singles might expect to spend $48,266 per year. For couples aged 65 to 84, a comfortable lifestyle is estimated to cost around $68,014 per year.
A comfortable retirement involves enough money to pay for house repairs, occasional holidays including overseas trips, a good car, regular leisure and lifestyle activities, and many other discretionary items that form daily living.The Standard uses common terms to present three broad categories: a comfortable retirement, a modest retirement and one based solely on the Age Pension.
