DNG Financial Services: Personal Retirement Savings Account

Key features of a PRSA Include:

PRSAs are owned by the individual, which means that the account is portable. If you change jobs, you can take your PRSA with you. 

Both individuals and employers can contribute to a PRSA. Contributions are invested, and the value of the fund depends on the performance of these investments.

PRSA holders can choose from a range of investment funds offered by the PRSA provider. These funds may include options like equity funds, bond funds, and cash funds. The investment strategy can be tailored to the individual's risk tolerance and retirement goals.

Contributions to a PRSA may qualify for tax relief, subject to certain limits. This tax relief can make it more attractive for individuals to save for retirement through a PRSA.

When the individual reaches retirement age, they have several options for using the funds accumulated in their PRSA. These options may include taking a lump sum, purchasing an annuity, or opting for an Approved Retirement Fund (ARF) or Approved Minimum Retirement Fund (AMRF).

Personal Retirement Savings Account FAQ

Here are some of the most commonly asked questions when it comes to PRSA’s in Ireland, answered by our expert Advisors in DNG Financial Services

A Personal Retirement Savings Account (PRSA) is a type of pension plan available in Ireland designed to help individuals save for retirement. It is a portable, flexible pension option that can be taken from job to job, providing individuals with greater control over their retirement savings compared to traditional occupational pension schemes.

Any individual, whether employed, self-employed, or unemployed, can open a Personal Retirement Savings Account in Ireland. It is particularly suitable for those who don’t have access to an employer-sponsored pension scheme or who want to supplement their existing pension arrangements.

Personal Retirement Savings Accounts offer several advantages, including tax relief on contributions, flexible contribution options, the ability to choose from a range of investment funds, portability between jobs, and the option to access retirement savings in various ways upon reaching retirement age.

Contributions to a Personal Retirement Savings Account are typically tax-deductible, meaning individuals receive relief at their marginal tax rate on contributions up to certain limits. This tax relief can significantly boost retirement savings, making PRSAs an attractive option for long-term retirement planning.

Upon reaching retirement age individuals can access their Personal Retirement Savings Account to provide retirement income. Options include taking a tax-free lump sum, purchasing an annuity, entering a drawdown arrangement, or a combination of these options. It is essential to consider factors such as tax implications, investment performance, and personal circumstances when deciding how to access retirement savings.
