Investment examples

To make it easier to decide which investment option is right for you, we've created the following examples.

Mary and her husband both earn over $70,000 p.a. (therefore are on the 38% income tax rate) and have recently inherited $50,000.

They'd like to have easy access to their money with tax efficient, competitive returns.

If we compare an ANZ Call Fund PIE with a standard call account, these are the returns:

Fund details	ANZ Call Fund	ANZ Online Call Account
Investment amount	$50,000	$50,000
Example rate of return per annum	4%	4%
Tax paid on returns	30%	38%
Total after-tax income per annum	$1,400	$1,240

Joy's current salary is $90,000. Her salary puts her on the top income tax rate of 38% so any additional income she earns will be taxed at that rate.

Joy has $300,000 to invest from the sale of her house for the next 12 months as she plans to rent over that time.

Comparing the ANZ Term Fund with a Term Deposit produces the following results:

Fund details	ANZ Term Fund	ANZ Term Deposit
Investment amount	$300,000	$300,000
Example rate of return per annum	4%	4%
Tax paid on returns	30%	38%
Total after-tax income per annum	$8,400	$7,440

These examples are for illustrative purposes only. Rates of return are subject to change. Actual rates may differ.
