Fees a year

What each fund's MySuper option charges a year at every balance, from APRA's fees at $10,000 to $250,000; above $250,000 the line is carried on, so it's an estimate. The dashed line is your balance.

Before moving super, check what you’d give up: insurance cover inside your fund usually ends when you leave it, and some funds charge to exit.
