The folks from Intrust Super read my blog post on superannuation back on 5 March and forwarded this link below. It is a table that looks at two things:
1) Your salary.
2) When you plan to retire.
And with this information they try to approximate how much of your salary you should be putting toward super.

So what do you reckon . . . most of those numbers are pretty big, heh? A bit scary, but thought you’d find it interesting.

The Intrustsuper data table is unfortunately somewhat dated Deven – Source: Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA) as at October 2006 – so probably the associated tool is also dated.
The current best info still appears to be the Westpac-ASFA biannual retirement lifestayle reports.
Hi Deven,
For what it’s worth, here are some links relating to Jed’s comment:
