You have a job offer ($40,000 per annum, plus 9.5% super. Your salary is expected to grow with the CPI each year, CPI is 3% per year.)

Your super fund is returning an expected 5% per year.

You are 26 years old and plan to retire at age 65, and assume you require $40,000 per year in present value $ from super fund when you retire.

Super earnings should be calculated based on the opening superannuation account balance.

Use the following headings in spreadsheet (year, age, salary, opening super balance, add employer super contributions (9.5%), less contributions tax (15%), add earnings (net of tax), closing super balance).

2. Provide an excel spreadsheet illustrating the withdrawal of the accumulated superannuation commencing retirement, detailing how long your superannuation is likely to last.

use the following headings for spreadsheet (year, age , opening pension balance, less pension withdrawal (real income required), add net earnings, closing pension balance)
