May 21, 2026, 10:08 AM EDT. Australians seek a comfortable retirement supported by adequate superannuation savings. Data from the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA) reveals average super balances for 2026: men aged 40-44 hold about $140,680, women $109,209; ages 60-64, men have $395,852, women $313,360. Despite a 20-year growth of over $200,000, these amounts fall short of the roughly $630,000 needed for singles and $730,000 for couples to retire comfortably. Ideal targets for super balances are $225,500 at age 44 and $581,000 by 64, highlighting the significance of early and sustained contributions to meet retirement goals.
