Pension Savings Types
It is important to have control over your pension savings so that you can live the life you dream of when you eventually retire and have more time for the things you love. However, the world of pensions can be a bit of a jungle to navigate, and it may seem overwhelming and time-consuming to understand all the available options. But fortunately, it does not have to be that way. At Söderberg & Partners, we have many years of experience in the pension field and offer independent advice to both businesses and individuals.
The Right Choice of Pension
When making decisions about your pension savings, it is important to be well-informed so that you get the solution that best suits you.
When we at Söderberg & Partners advise our clients on company pensions and private pension savings, we do so based on the individual’s personal situation and the wishes and goals they may have for the future. This means that we make the options as transparent and understandable as possible, so that the decisions that need to be made are based on an informed background.
Considerations
One of the things to consider when choosing a pension savings plan is how you would like the money to be paid out when you eventually retire. Would you like a larger sum all at once and manage the money yourself, or would you prefer to receive the saved amount as ongoing payments? The payout options are determined by the type of pension savings plan you have chosen, so it is important to make the right choice. You can, of course, also choose more than one type of savings plan if you like to have different payout options.
Another factor worth considering is the tax rules for the different types of pension savings. It is important to understand the rules for deductions, as well as taxes and fees on payouts, so that nothing unexpected arises.
In other words, it is really important to understand the differences between, for example, annuity pension, life annuity, and retirement pension, so that you can make the right choices and ultimately enjoy the retirement you have been planning for.

With an annuity pension, you receive your savings in installments over a period of 10 to 30 years. A lifelong pension, also called life annuity, guarantees you monthly payments from the time you retire and for the rest of your life.
In contrast to the capital pension, where contributions were tax-deductible and payouts are taxable, you do not receive a tax deduction for contributions to a retirement pension. However, you also do not have to pay taxes or fees upon payouts.
Additionally, payouts from an age pension will not affect the amount of the public pension.
