You’ll learn the pros and cons of each plan, understand potential tax relief benefits, and get expert guidance on investment strategies, whether conservative, balanced, or growth-focused. Once you decide, we’ll handle the paperwork and set everything up so you can start building your pension with confidence.

Starting in your 20’s

Starting in your 30’s

Starting your pension in your 30s is a smart step toward securing your financial future. It’s crucial to create a detailed financial plan and realistic budget for effective pension management. Taking advantage of employer contributions is key during this time, while also making the most of time and tax benefits to boost your pension fund’s growth potential. This sets a strong foundation for a comfortable retirement later on.

Pension in your 40’s

The Pension journey in your 40s means assessing your finances and reviewing retirement goals strategically. It’s essential to optimize asset allocation for a diversified investment strategy. Increasing contributions annually can maximize growth potential and strengthen your pension portfolio. These actions in your 40s pave the way for a more secure and prosperous retirement

Pension in your 50’s

While in your 50s is important to focus on securing your financial future. It’s crucial to maximize pension contributions for a strong retirement fund. Review and optimize your investment portfolio for balance and growth. Additionally, locate any old pensions to manage your assets better. Reassess your mortgage strategy to align with retirement goals. Addressing these aspects in your 50s enhances the strength and stability of your pension for a more comfortable retirement.

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.
