Benefits of the Tier 3 Pension Scheme!

Boost Your Retirement Savings with Ghana’s Tier 3 Voluntary Contributions
What is the Tier 3 Pension Scheme?

The Tier 3 Pension Scheme is a voluntary pension savings plan that allows employees, employers, and self-employed individuals to contribute additional funds toward retirement.

Why Opt for Tier 3?
  • Increase Your Retirement Savings:
    • By contributing to Tier 3, you can supplement your Tier 1 and Tier 2 pensions, ensuring you have more income when you retire
    • Your savings grow over time through investment returns, managed by professional private pension fund managers
  • Tax Benefits:
    • Contributions are tax-deductible: This reduces your taxable income, meaning you pay less tax today while saving for the future
    • Tax-free growth: The returns on your Tier 3 investments are tax-free, allowing your money to grow faster
  • Flexibility in Contributions:
    • Unlike the mandatory Tiers 1 and 2, Tier 3 allows for flexible contributions based on your financial situation. You can increase or decrease your contributions as needed
  • Early Access to Funds:
    • After a minimum of 10 years, you can access a portion of your Tier 3 contributions, giving you some flexibility in emergencies or financial planning
  • Maximum Contribution Limit:
    • Contributions to Tier 3 are capped at 16.5% of your monthly salary. This limit includes both employee and employer contributions and ensures that savings remain within the allowable tax-free threshold.
  • Personal Pension Growth:
    • Ideal for self-employed individuals or anyone looking to grow their pension beyond the mandatory contributions, offering a personalized plan for your financial security
