The percentage “of what you need” is an estimate based on your projected final balance & the amount you need to provide the desired retirement income for 25 years. This income may not suit your personal needs (see Important information link below). Changes you make on this page won't affect your account & won’t appear on your dashboard.

The estimates of your retirement balance, how much income you may need, and how long it may last, are not guaranteed, they are intended to help you consider whether you are on track to meet your savings goals. Your circumstances may be different to those reflected in the estimate. The estimates do not consider your personal objectives, financial situation (including other sources of income you may have) or needs. You should consider these matters and seek advice from a financial adviser before making any decisions concerning your retirement savings or making other investment decisions.
The figures are based on your age and period to retirement (in whole years), your current balance, and a number of default assumptions, which you can see by clicking on your Account Balance page. (Although you can alter the default assumptions on your account balance page, the Dashboard figures will not change). Because you are able to make changes to the default assumptions and include details specific to you, this projected balance may vary to that on your annual member statement (if applicable).
We have used the New Zealand Retirement Expenditure Guidelines (“the Guidelines”) published by the Massey Fin Ed Centre to inform the estimate of what income you may need in retirement. The Guidelines estimate the savings required to fund the gap between what you might spend in retirement, and the NZ Super you may receive. The Guidelines do not represent a recommended level of spending in retirement, but reflect actual levels of expenditure in retired households (defined as being where one form of income is from NZ Super, a war pension or other government pension) based on results reported in the Statistics New Zealand’s 2018/19 Household Economic Survey.
Mercer has used the Guidelines’ “Metro” budget (based on data for the Auckland and Wellington Regional Council areas and Christchurch City) and assumed a one-person household, to provide an estimate of a comfortable retirement annual income. We have adopted a position between the “Choices” and No Frills” budget, and used a benchmark of an annual retirement income of $46,000 per annum. For more information on the Guidelines, you can read the complete report which is available under the cost of living in retirement section here.

When your contributions are allocated to the fund, they join a pool of assets from other members invested in that same portfolio. To keep track of the value of each person’s share of the pool, the total value of the assets in the pool is divided into units of equal value. Units are then allocated to your account, according to the amount of your contribution and the entry unit price at the time of your transaction.
