ITP 2 Retirement pension and ITPK
From the age of 28, your employer begins paying in contributions to your retirement pension.
Your retirement pension is comprised of two components
- The majority is comprised of a defined benefit ITP 2 Retirement pension.
- Each month, your employer also pays funds into your defined-contribution ITPK plan.
These contributions continue for as long as you are employed by your employer, or to the age of 65. If you continue to work after this point in time, you can come to an agreement with your employer stipulating that they continue to pay into your ITP 1 Retirement Pension after you have turned 65.
How much ITP 2 Retirement pension will I receive?
The amount you receive once you retire depends on factors, such as:
- your salary when you retire
- how long you have paid into your pension plan
- when you start to take out your pension benefits, and for what period of time
- the income base amount.
