It’s Never Too Early To Start Planning Your Pension

Think you don’t need to consider a pension at 30?

Think Again!

The Early Bird…

There are choices you make in life that will have a huge impact on your future. Starting a pension for your retirement (yes it’s a long way away) is one of those choices because the earlier you start the brighter your future.

It doesn’t cost as much as you think

Tax relief is by far the greatest advantage of saving in a pension. If you’re paying tax on your salary at the highest rate, then you’re entitled to get a 40% saving on any pension contributions you make.

So a €120 contribution a month from you, along with the €80 from the taxman could grow to over €190,000* at age 65 for a 25-year-old.

Starting early is the best thing you can do for your pension

Over a 40 year period, a 25-year-old will generate a 60% greater return than the person starting 10 years later.

Over the same period, that 25-year-old generates a 180% greater return than the person who waits until they are 45.
