Using TTRAP point of sales tool as part of your new client or review process
The Xtools TTRAP (Transition to Retirement Allocated Pension) calculator is a powerful point of sales tool.
The TTRAP Xtool gives you the ability to model and assess the benefits available to clients from accessing
superannuation as an income source but continue working in some capacity and topping up their retirement savings.
With the ability to give an in-depth view of tax, income stream(s), long-term retirement savings and the ability to meet
expenditure objects, the TTRAP tool gives concise yet accurate details of all aspects of this popular retirement and
superannuation strategy.
Key Features
1. Quickly and concisely analyse the effect of a TTRAP strategy on take home pay.
2. Utilise optimisation options by auto-setting the level of Salary Sacrifice to match the client's existing take-home pay
levels, optionally avoiding Excess Contributions tax, and illustrate the additional pre-tax contributions in the results.
3. Automatically set contributions to ensure your client stays within the lowest marginal tax bracket.
4. Charting the benefits and key aspects of a TTRAP strategy to your client.
Input screens
1. Ensure basic client data is entered into Xplan as per your normal client process. This should filter across into the
Xtool screen
2. Go into Xtools and click on Retirement > TTRAP.

7. Enter the client’s packaging details. This includes any extra superannuation contributions which are made as part of
the client's overall package (eg salary sacrifice, non-concessional contributions etc). Do not enter compulsory SG
contributions here (they are captured on the ‘Super’ screen which follows).
- Insert the client’s current packaging situation.
- If you already know the figures you want to use, you can also enter proposed values. Alternatively, you may
wish to use the optimisation functions on the TTRAP Income page instead.
If you know the clients
living needs, you can enter
these under a “post tax”
item under both the
current and proposed
positions. This in-turn will
provide you with more
accurate cash-flows of the
client’s actual position.
8. Enter the client’s super details – retirement age, super salary and accumulation account details.
Reboot Strategy
With the abolishment of RBLs, it is now
possible to commute or rollover existing
pension and accumulation accounts so that at
the commencement of each year, all of your
funds will remain in pension. In some cases,
this can dramatically increase the tax savings
generated within the superannuation fund,
especially when combined with Salary Sacrifice
and other contributions made over the
proceeding year. This process can continue
each year until retirement or decision to cease
the re-boot strategy.
Select Yes to use the Reboot Strategy. For
each entity that Yes is selected for, you can
define a time frame when you want this to
occur by selecting a From age and a To age.

9. The TTRAP income screen does two things:
a) It allows you to select the level of income drawn from the income stream.
b) It allows you to use the ‘Target Optimisations’ function whereby the system, depending on what you are trying
to achieve, automatically calculates the contribution limits for you. The pre-set conditions are:
•
•
•
•
Set lowest MTR - set superannuation contributions to ensure your client remains in the lowest
Marginal Tax bracket.
Same take home pay - set superannuation contributions to a level whereby the client receives that
same net (or take home) pay as in the current situation.
Custom take home pay - define a specific amount of take home pay when the TTRAP commences.
Exceed contributions cap - if No is selected, this setting limits the above optimisations to the
superannuation contributions cap.
10. In the economic screen, complete your client’s assumptions, in particular, their tolerance to risk in both super and
pension phases, as well as an assumed MER. Salary inflation is automatically linked to AWOTE, so only complete
‘Additional Salary Inflation’ if you want salary to increase at a rate greater than AWOTE.
11. Now click on OK at the top right hand side of your page to view the results.

Take Home Diff - shows the difference in client or partner take home pay based on different
voluntary pre tax contributions.
Take Home Pay - shows the value change in take home page based on different voluntary pre
tax contributions.
Display view – this provides an analytical view of your results.
Interpreting the results:
Under Display, you can see the system allows you to review your results prior to the TTR being implemented, as well as
after the TTR strategy has been implemented.
In our example, if the client has No TTRAP, their total super position will be $455,695 by retirement.

By selecting TTRAP on the tree view, we can see that the client’s portfolio would be valued at $457,458 if the implement
the strategy (this scenario has modelled the client maintaining the same take home pay after implementing the strategy).
Obviously, the client’s position could be further maximised by salary sacrificing more of their surplus income.
Note: The display screen allows you to enter any values which you may have overlooked in the input screens. By clicking
on the little arrow key, you will have access to data entry boxes allowing you to input the relevant variable.

Chart view – This provides the result diagrammatically which for some clients is easier to understand. As per the “Display”
view, simply select the applicable charts you wish to discuss.

Useful tool: Sensitivity
Under “Charts”, you have a “Sensitivity” option, which provides two chart options:
a) Take Home Diff - shows the difference in client or partner take home pay based on different voluntary pre tax
contributions.
b) Take Home Pay - shows the value change in take home pay based on different voluntary pre tax
contributions.
The chart above shows the client the net difference to their net take home pay with each incremental increase in salary
sacrifice contributions, assuming they still commence a TTR pension.
In this case, by commencing a TTR pension (drawing the income level which is set under the TTRAP Income screen – in
this case the minimum income) however only salary sacrificing $500, the clients take home pay would be $5,500 better
off. The chart reduces reflecting the fact that the client can continue making salary sacrifice contributions up to $9,756 at
which point their net difference in take home pay would be zero (i.e. reflecting the fact that they will have the same after
tax cash-flow to their current position). Note – the Vol Pre Tax Contribution increment pa is a variable which can be
changed.
The chart above differs from the previous analysis (take home pay “difference”) in that this chart shows the actual net take
home pay (i.e. surplus cash-flow position) for each incremental salary sacrifice contribution, assuming the TTR strategy
still takes place. For instance, if the client rolled over their existing super balance of $300,000 into a TTRAP but only
salary sacrificed $500, their cash-flow position would be over $29,000 which is higher than their existing surplus. As they
increase their salary sacrifice contributions, the net cash-flow position begins approaching their current (pre-strategy)
cash-flow.
