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.

I recently dealt with Ross when applying for my life insurance coverage, from my very first conversation with Ross he was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to finding the best policy for my needs. Ross took the time to explain the options available, answered all my questions, and helped me navigate through the process with ease.

I made a few "random" insurance inquiries online. Only Ross from Low Quotes came back to me. He was very knowledgeable and at no point did I feel under pressure to buy. He was a lovely mixture of kind , friendly and still so professional. My experience in the past has tended to be that once you contact insurance reps you'll be under constant pressure to buy. Not so with Ross, quick to respond to your question, but when he contacts you it's a case of "I'm here when you want", no feeling of pressure to buy. Would highly recommend.
Response from the owner: Hi Patricia,We’re so pleased to hear about your positive experience with Ross! It’s wonderful to know that he was able to provide you with the knowledge and support you needed, while making sure you never felt pressured. We strive to offer a balance of friendliness and professionalism, and we’re happy to hear Ross was able to deliver that.Thank you for recommending our services! If you ever have any more questions or need assistance in the future, don’t hesitate to get in touch.Best Regards,LowQuotes Team

I won't lie I came upon lowquotes by accident when in a flurry of trying to organise insurances. Thankfully after I got a quote online an agent called Dylan Chadwell called me to follow up. He was such a pleasure to deal with and he explained everything without technical jargon. I am so grateful because within 48 hours I went with one of the polices he recommended. I would not hesitate to recommend them.It's lovely to deal with real people and Dylan seems like one of the nicest!
Response from the owner: Hi Liz,Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re so glad that even by accident, you found us – and even happier to hear that Dylan was able to guide you through the process with ease.

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.
