A survey by Royal London Ireland, published last week, suggests Irish workers believe they will need almost €41,000 per year for a comfortable retirement.This week, Irish Times business reporter Ian Curran spoke to pension advisers on how big your pension pot should be for a comfortable retirement in Ireland. Royal London Ireland calculates that to secure €40,860 a year on retirement, assuming they qualify for the State pension, someone earning €61,908 who starts saving at 30 would need to put away €1,135 per month. That is 22 per cent of their income. Paul Merriman, chief executive of financial planning firm Fairstone, says that for most people beginning to save for their pension in their 30s, putting away 22 per cent of their income is “madness”.“We need to be talking to people about what’s achievable for them,” he says.The Irish Times would like to know how readers are feeling about their pensions and retirement plans. Do you feel you’re able to contribute enough for a comfortable retirement considering the current cost of living?
