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 $30,000* to open a TTR Income account and you can use it to:
Work less
- reduce your work hours.
- use your account to replace the reduced income.
- keep your take-home pay the same.
Save more
- pay some of your salary into super.
- replace your salary with payments from your TTR Income account.
- keep your take-home pay the same.
*You need $30,000 to start a transition to retirement strategy. You need to move at least $25,000 to your TTR Income account and leave at least $5,000 in your super account ($10,000 if you have insurance cover).
