Working out how much you need to save for retirement is a question that keeps many pre-retirees awake at night. Recent market volatility and fluctuating superannuation balances have only added to the uncertainty.

This is for retirees aged between 65-84 who own their own home, with expenses represented at the end of December 2024.
