Why knowing your super balance matters
One of the first steps when getting ready for retirement is knowing how much super you have - and how much you want. Keeping an eye on your balance keeps you on top of how your super is tracking.
Super actions like deciding when to retire, making extra contributions into your account or preparing for financial help are a great time to check your balance. It’s a good idea to check in on your super account at least once a year.
If you're wondering how much super you should have, it can be helpful to compare with others your age2.
