ITP 2 Retirement pension and ITPK

From the age of 28, your employer will start paying contributions into your retirement pension.

Your retirement pension is comprised of two components

For the most part, the retirement pension consists of a defined benefit ITP 2 Retirement pension.
Every month, your employer also pays funds into your defined-contribution ITPK plan.

These contributions continue for as long as you are employed or until 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 your employers have paid into your pension plan
when you start to take out your pension benefits, and for which period of time
the income base amount.
