How does TTR Income account work?
Your TTR Income account and super account will work together while you’re still working, to help you transition to retirement, by topping up your salary using income payments from your super.
Initially, you’ll use money from your super account to open your TTR Income account. Your income payments are then transferred directly to your bank account, and since you’re still working, employer contributions mean your super account balance continues to grow.
You only need $25,000* to open a TTR Income account and you can use it to:
Work less
- reduce your work hours.
- use your account to top up your reduced take-home pay.
Save more
- pay some of your salary into super†.
- replace your salary with payments from your TTR Income account.
†Contribution caps and other criteria may apply.
