How do I start a Pension?

Navigating pensions can seem complex, yet they offer a tax-friendly avenue for long-term investment. Through our discovery consultation, we provide quotes and facilitate one-on-one discussions with your dedicated financial advisor. Your advisor delves into your unique circumstances and goals, laying the groundwork for your retirement strategy. Crafting a tailored retirement plan involves gathering data on your current financial situation, risk tolerance, preferred investment options, and retirement timeline. Our team presents pension options tailored to your needs, explaining the pros and cons of each to ensure clarity. Assessing your risk tolerance is crucial; we collaborate with you to gauge comfort levels and develop investments that align with your goals. Based on this assessment, we recommend strategies to optimize your retirement savings, catering to conservative, aggressive, or balanced approaches. Once satisfied, we guide you through paperwork, ensuring comprehension of every aspect of your pension arrangement.

When is the best time to start a Pension?

The best time to start a pension is right now. Delaying this crucial financial decision can significantly impact your retirement savings. Starting as early as possible allows your investments to grow over time, potentially providing you with a more substantial pension fund when you retire. The power of compounding interest and time is on your side, making today the best moment to begin securing your financial future in preparation for retirement.

We used LowQuotes for our Mortgage Protection Policy. Anna couldn’t have been any more helpful and professional. We needed the policy activated as soon as possible and she turned it around extremely quickly for us with no delays. Would definitely recommend.

Your Questions Answered

As soon as possible. The money that you pay into your pension grows over time. It’s quite simply Time x Money. The sooner you start paying in; the more money will be available to you upon retirement.

The amount you will receive per month entirely depends on how much you’re willing to pay per month, the length of time you’ve been making contributions, the type of pension plan and its investment return. You can also choose to receive a lump sum upon retirement or not.

As of today, the State Contributory Pension is about €240 per week. For most people, during their 20-30 years of retirement, this simply isn’t enough. When you pay into a pension plan, you will receive both the state pension (If available to you) and your Pension Plan.

Tax relief reduces the actual cost of your pension. You do not have to pay tax on money that you put into a personal pension (This falls within the limits set out below). This is calculated at the highest rate of tax you pay (Currently 20% / 40%)

Example:
Monthly contribution = €100
Tax Relief (40%) = €40
Cost to you = €60

If you have to retire because of medical reasons and you get Revenue approval, you can receive your benefits from your Pension immediately.

If you unfortunately pass away before you retire, your Pension will be paid to your estate.
