What is a TTR pension?
A Transition to Retirement (TTR) pension lets you access up to 10% of your super each year while you're still working, once you reach preservation age (60, for everyone since 1 July 2024). You can reduce your work hours and use the TTR income to supplement your salary.
How much can I withdraw from a TTR?
You must withdraw at least 4% and at most 10% of your account balance each financial year. The minimum is halved in the first year if the pension starts partway through the year.
How is TTR income taxed?
Preservation age is 60 for everyone since 1 July 2024, so TTR pension payments from a taxed super fund are tax-free once you're drawing them.
