I would use a higher inflation number to be conservative, although some of the things retirees spend money on may experience less inflation pressure.Super projection calculators which project super balances from retirement over time based on various assumptions including wage inflation/price inflation/ fees/ fund performance/super withdrawals
The wage inflation assumption is 3.7% over the medium to long term and price inflation 2.5% over the medium to long term
At retirement, the price inflation would be the main factor affecting purchasing power. Wage inflation would then be moot.
Any comments?
