🗣"Your pension isn't just money, it's your ticket to your second life."

Pensions may seem daunting, but they really aren't as complicated as you think!

⏰️ In just thirty seconds, we can simply explain how pension tax works.

This applies to personal contributions to Personal Pensions and Personal Retirement Savings Accounts. Tax relief as a % of earnings ranges from 15% for under 30s, to 40% for over 60s.

The maximum earnings is €115,000 per year. Up to 25% of the fund can be taken as a lump sum at retirement, with a maximum total tax-free amount of €200,000 from all your Pensions.

Consumers need to claim the tax relief themselves. Based on law at October 2025.
