A pension is a tax-efficient way of saving for life after retirement. There are a huge array of different pension plans available, which can sometimes be a bit daunting.
But the most important thing to remember is it's never too early to prepare. The earlier you start thinking about how much money you will need to live a comfortable life after retirement, the more control you can have.
Why do I need a pension?
Pensions help make your savings grow quicker. It is a long-term savings account on which you don’t pay tax on. Yet, a large percentage of people aren’t saving anywhere near enough to give them the standard of living they hope for.
It is crucial not to rely on the state pension to keep you going, even if you are eligible for the full amount. As this is far below a comfortable standard of living.
What are the advantages of having a pension plan?
- A pension makes up for some of this loss of income in retirement.
- They provide protection in the form of lump sums and pensions to dependants in the event of a member's death.
- The State provides tax relief on contributions made to pension schemes and the growth in their investments.
