How does Lifetime Income work?

Lifetime helps retirees take care of the income part of their retirement plan by providing regular, tax paid, fortnightly payments into their bank account.

Receiving a reliable, tax—paid, retirement income that's managed to last a lifetime should not be difficult or complicated. Lifetime helps by actively managing the key unknowns: your life expectancy and investment returns.

  • 1. Your income is calculated

    They calculate your unique annuity factor (age, gender, tax-rate, savings balance and expected investment returns) and lifestyle choices, to give you a reliable regular, tax-paid, retirement income.

  • 2. Your savings are invested

    Your savings are invested in a Balanced Fund and managed by our experienced investment committee. Your account balance, investment returns and future payment details can be viewed anytime via the secure online portal.

  • 3. Regular tax-paid income

    Your savings balance and investment returns are combined and paid each fortnight or 4-weekly on Super Tuesday, providing you with the confidence to spend your income as you please in retirement.

  • 4. Annual Review

    Lifetime completes an Annual Income Review to check your account balance and life expectancy. The review may result in adjustments to your retirement income to ensure your balance will last your lifetime.
