This new data comes from the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA), the peak research body for Australia's superannuation industry.
According to the ASFA Retirement standard June quarter, couples aged around 65, need to spend $61,522 per year to achieve a comfortable retirement, whereas singles need to spend $43,601.
In releasing the figures, ASFA called on all savers to check their superannuation account balance and consider ways to boost their retirement outcome.
"Making extra contributions to your account, consolidating multiple accounts, and checking whether your account balance is on track using one of AFSA's calculators are a few simple measures that can help set you on track," ASFA chief executive Doctor Martin Fahy said.
Dr Fahy said geographic factors could influence superannuation account balances, with balances in coastal or inner-city suburbs tending to be higher than for outer suburbs of cities.
"Superannuation account balances are tied to income, so areas with a higher proportion of high-income earners tend to have higher average superannuation account balances. We see this in more affluent suburbs, in major cities, and in some 'sea change' or 'tree change' destinations," Dr Fahy said.
Average superannuation balances also vary with industry and occupation. The self-employed also tend to have lower superannuation balances on average.
