  • Pension valuation factors

    The tables below set out the maximum and minimum pension valuation factors used to calculate maximum and minimum payment limits for pensions and annuities.

    Note: Transitional rules apply to new pensions that start from 1 January 2006 to 30 June 2006. During this time, funds may apply the new or the previous pension valuation factor rates (but only to new pensions).

    For information on SMSF pension standards, see Pension standards for self-managed super funds.

    Low rate threshold – post-June 1983 components of eligible termination payments

    Up to 30 June 2007, if your benefits include eligible termination payments (ETPs) and you were aged 55 years or over when you received the ETP, then the cash amount of the post-June 1983 component is taxed at lower rates until you reach your low rate threshold (LRT).

    This table contains the LRT limits. The LRT is a lifetime limit, indexed each financial year.
