An account-based pension is another type of regular income you can buy with your super money. You can purchase an account-based pension after you’ve reached ‘preservation age’, which is calculated from when you were born. 

Account-based pensions don’t have a fixed start and end date like some other annuities do. How long it will last depends on how often and how much you withdraw each year, the fees you pay and investment returns you get.
