Calculators

Online calculators can be very handy but it is important to remember that, at best, they simply illustrate the possible effects of decisions you make.

They allow you to try out what ifs but when you are using them, please keep in mind that they are not predictions of what will happen in the future.

Don’t make decisions based solely on the outcome of a calculator and always consider getting expert, licensed financial advice when making superannuation or retirement plans.

MoneySmart

The MoneySmart website, which has been developed by the Australian Federal Government and the Australian Securites and Investments Commission (ASIC), features a number of useful calculators, which have been provided here for your convenience.

There are also calculators for other topics on the MoneySmart website, which you may find useful. Calculators may be added or changed from time to time. Please visit the MoneySmart website to see more calculators about borrowing and credit, managing money and investing. 

With this in mind, any questions related to their use, the assumptions behind their calculations or other issues should be directed to the MoneySmart website.
