Assumptions
Investment growth: Your pension fund will grow by the specified required rate of return every year until you retire.
Inflation: The cost of basic goods and services will rise by an average of 7% a year until you retire.
Pension fund charges: The cost of providing your pension will be charged at 2.0% of your fund.
Income tax rebates: The Government will add a full tax rebate to your contributions, so that for every N1 that goes into your fund, nothing goes to the Government as tax.
Annuity rates: When you retire, your pension fund is used to buy a pension income, called an annuity. We have estimated that annuity rates might be 5% when you retire.
Life expectancy: The average age that people are expected to live to is 80, based on a retirement age of 60 and an annuity rate of 5%.
Monthly contributions: You keep up regular monthly payments from now until you retire.
Contribution increases: Each year you increase your monthly payments by a minimum of 5%.
Current Pensionable Pay: This comprises of your Basic salary, transportation and housing allowances.
