Start a Private Pension in Ireland Today!

A pension is one of the most important financial decisions you’ll ever make.
Private pensions help bridge the gap between the State Pension and your future needs, protect your savings against inflation, and secure financial support for your loved ones.

How do I start a Pension?

Starting a pension in Ireland may feel complex, but it’s a tax-efficient way to grow your retirement savings. At LowQuotes, our advisors make it simple. We’ll review your current financial situation, risk tolerance, and retirement goals, then match you with the best PRSA or employee pension options available.

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.

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 had the pleasure of dealing with Alan Broderick who supported me with finding the best rates for my few policies and plans and I even ended up switching. Not only was this guy professional, he was also very easy going, empathic, and just had a very good understanding of how to support me with the best advice and products for my hard earned little money. This is rare in today's world of ever rising costs! And despite my annoying phone calls and never ending questions, he still remained patient and helpful.If you're looking for an advisor who is driven and knows his stuff, then look no further. I would highly recommend this gem. Thank you Alan for all your help.Joyce M - Dublin

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.

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.
