What are the current Age Pension payment rates and how do I know what I could receive?

A ClaimWise Team Answered by

Age Pension rates depend on whether you are single or partnered, your income and assets, and whether you qualify for supplements such as the Pension Supplement and Energy Supplement. Services Australia generally indexes payment rates in March and September, so the figures can change over time. The maximum rate is not necessarily the amount each person receives, as income and assets tests may reduce it or affect eligibility. Check the latest rates and use the Payment Finder at servicesaustralia.gov.au for an estimate based on your circumstances.
