Pension options

Find out how a UniSuper pension can help you manage your retirement income.

Lump sum or pension?

When you retire, you can either take your superannuation as a lump sum or convert it into a pension to provide an ongoing income stream. So why choose a pension?

For starters, it can offer significant tax advantages – a pension could defer lump sum tax if you’re under age 60, eliminate tax on investment earnings and give you a rebate on annual pension payments. And using your retirement savings to fund your pension may mean you still get access to the government's aged pension and other Social Security benefits.
