Super is where leaving Australia gets strange: it is the one asset that cannot come with you. This tool puts numbers on the three things that actually matter before departure, whether topping up with unused concessional cap space beats keeping the cash, what preservation really means once you live abroad, and (if you run an SMSF) the residency failure that can cost nearly half the fund.
It also kills the most expensive myth in this corner of the internet: no, leaving permanently does not let citizens or permanent residents cash out their super.
