Factors to Consider While Buying Pension Scheme
 

• Monthly expenses post-retirement

  Consider all your essential monthly expenses that will need to be taken care of in the future. once you do not have your monthly salary. The regular income benefits of your retirement plan should be enough to cover these expenses for years.

• Inflation-beating returns

  Years later, the inflation rate will lead to an increase in the prices of commodities. . As a result, the funds that suffice today will be inadequate when you retire. Therefore, carefully plan your retirement fund accordingly.

• Cover medical emergencies

  Though a retirement plan may be enough for your regular expenses, it is better to be prepared for some emergencies too. In old age, sickness can be an issue, and so, your retirement fund should be able to protect these medical expenses.

• Assets and Income Sources

  If you have certain assets or income sources, such as a home on rent, then this becomes an extra income. However, there are also additional costs such as property maintenance, etc. Consider this when you buy a pension plan.

• Research your Options

  All pension plans are not the same and when you buy a retirement plan, understand how it suits your needs and how long you need to secure your family financially. The total guaranteed income offered on the plan is a crucial point to note down.

• Plan Ahead of Retirement

  Your retirement planning should start years before you retire so that you are able to accumulate enough finances for a secure retired life. Keep a gap of about 10-20 years between your earnings and retirement stages to plan properly.

• Consider Your Debts

  When you buy a pension plan, be sure to time it with your loan repayments so that you do not have to repay any of your debts with your annuity income. Repay all your outstanding loans well before retirement to avoid any extra expenses.

How Much Do I Need to Save for Retirement?

• Evaluate all expenses

  When you retire, some expenses will cease, while there may be some new ones. Your daily commute to work will stop, saving you some money; however, a minor health condition may be an added expense. Listing down all of these missing and added expenses can help you know the approximate amount needed for your retirement savings.

• Income from all sources

  Along with a pension plan, if you have other funds like an EPF (Employee Provident Fund) that can provide you with some income, take those into consideration. However, since your pension plan will look after a majority of your basic and emergency expenses, this additional income is meant to help you plan your retirement plan corpus.

• Think about the lifestyle

  Just because you retire does not mean that you and your family have to downgrade your living standards. Your retirement plan should be able to provide you with the same comfortable lifestyle that you enjoyed on a regular salary. Therefore, invest in your retirement plan such that you’re able to provide a comfortable life to your loved ones and yourself.

• Consider the future value of your income.

  Your current salary may be enough for your family, but years later, when you retire, the value of your current salary will not be the same. The inflation rate will help you calculate how much income you need to have, over and above your current income, to handle all your post-retirement expenses, any additional costs as well as any financial emergencies.

How to Choose a Retirement Plan?
 

• Deferred or Immediate Annuity

  If you opt for an immediate annuity plan, you start receiving the pension benefits soon after paying a lump sum investment for the plan. A deferred annuity plan allows accumulation and growth of your corpus for a certain duration after which you start receiving payouts for a fixed term.

• Check the Investment Amount

  Most retirement plans have a minimum sum assured limit, while the maximum amount is flexible and depends on your needs and budget. Considering your requirement, look for a plan with an investment amount that will suffice for all your financial goals and obligations once you start receiving the benefits.

• Consider Returns

  Buy a retirement plan that will be able to combat the future inflation rate so that you can accumulate enough funds for retirement. Look for any guaranteed additions on the plan along with other returns, such as the return of the annuity plan’s purchase price. Know how they contribute to your retirement corpus.
