Monthly Contribution required
to provide a monthly income of € 1000 in today's terms
 The graph above assumes
that your pension fund will grow at 8.25% each year, having deducted
all charges. This is not a forecast
as funds can grow at a faster or slower rate, resulting in higher
or lower benefits than those illustrated. On retirement the pension
fund will but a yearly income-the graph assumes that €100
of the fund you have built up will buy a yearly pension of €11.60
at retirement, starting at age 65 for the rest of your life. We
assume that contributions into the pension plan and inflation both
increase at 5% each year. We can ensure you have more than €147.30 per week to survive
on when you retire. That's what you'll be left with if you depend solely on the state
for your pension at retirement. ( €147.30 is the maximum weekly
state benefit for a single person at retirement ). So, what's the solution? A pension plan will replace part of your income for the rest of
your life at retirement...but good pension plans don't come cheap,
and the longer you leave it the more expensive it becomes.
