Not financial or legal advice
Public Services Desk publishes general information about the Australian Age Pension. It does not take your objectives, financial situation or needs into account, and it is not personal advice under the Corporations Act 2001. Our researcher is not a licensed financial adviser, accountant or lawyer. Before acting on anything here, consider whether it applies to your circumstances and seek advice from a licensed professional.
Estimates, not entitlements
Our calculators apply the published Services Australia rates and thresholds to the figures you enter. They do not model every rule — Rent Assistance, the Work Bonus income bank, transitional rate pensions, aged care arrangements, trusts and private companies are outside their scope. Only Services Australia can determine what you are actually paid.
Accuracy and currency
Age Pension rates and thresholds are indexed on 20 March and 20 September each year, and some figures, such as deeming rates, can change at other times. We review every page at each indexation and date every figure, but rules can change between reviews. Always confirm a current figure with Services Australia before relying on it. Our editorial policy explains how we source and review content.
No relationship with government

External links
We link to Services Australia and legislation so you can check every figure at its source. We are not responsible for the content of external sites and their content may change after we link to it.
Limitation of liability
