How to get the most from your Superannuation

- Work out how much you might need to live on in retirement. Then determine a long term savings target;
- Work out how much you need to add to your super to achieve your target;
- Start early to get maximum benefits from the effects of compound interest;
- Make tax-deductible contributions to super if you are self-employed;
- If you are an employee, approach your employer about organising salary sacrifice;
- Take advantage of the co-contribution benefits, if possible; and
- Keep a regular watch on your super and adjust as you go along.
