Question: how much money can i earn before it affects my pension?
Answer: From 1 July 2019 you can earn up to $300 a fortnight if you're still working and you will not have this amount included in your income test for the Age Pension. This amount is known as a 'work bonus. ' The work bonus amount can be accumulated up to an amount of $7,800. You don't need to apply to have this done.
