How to calculate your pension from a bank account
- July 19, 2021
We all know that bank account savings are the lifeblood of any pension scheme.
But where do you put your money?
You can use the pension calculator on this page, but it’s more complicated than you might think.
We’ve put together a handy infographic to show you how to put your pension savings into your bank account.1.
Where do you start?
The easiest place to put all your savings is at a bank, but some people also like to put some in a savings account or savings vehicle, and they may want to save in different ways.
The simplest way to save is to put the money into a savings vehicle and use it to buy goods and services.
The amount of the savings you get is what determines your pension.
A savings vehicle can be either an annuity, a retirement savings vehicle or a credit card.
Annuities are generally for the life of the annuity.
Retirement savings vehicles are for a set amount of time and generally for a certain number of years.
Credit cards are usually good for life and are available for a fixed period.

How much is your pension?
As a general rule, a pension is equal to your pre-tax income plus your gross earnings from work and from your employer.
If you work full-time, your pension is your pre/post-tax total after you factor in your salary, bonuses, commissions, tips and other earnings.
You can get a pension in a variety of ways, including your employer, your superannuation, a company pension, a superannuance, or a trust fund.

How does my pension work?
You will receive a pension payment on the date you get your pension, which is usually in the form of a lump sum payment in the year you get it.
Your pension is calculated by dividing your net earnings by the number of pension payments you receive, and then dividing by the pension payment you received.
For example, if you received $30,000 in pension payments, your net income is $25,000, and your pension payment is $20,000.
For every $10,000 you received in pension, you receive a payment of $5,000 (rounded up to the nearest $10).
Your pension payment amount is equal a base of $10 and an increment of $20.
For a total pension payment of 10 times your net annual salary, you will receive $100,000 ($10 x 10).
If your pension payments are higher than the base, your total pension payments will be higher than your base.
If your net salary is higher than a certain amount, you may have to pay higher pension payments.
If the amount you receive is lower than your total salary, your payments are less than your salary.4.
How do I make the payment?
To make a pension, the payments you make in your pension plan are deducted from your pre and post-tax incomes.
If this is not the case, your payment will be deducted from the total amount you get from your pension in the first year.
If both your pre & post tax incomes are the same, the amount will be divided by your total annual salary to get the pension amount.
The total amount is then multiplied by the base amount to calculate how much you’ll receive in the next year.
For instance, if your base salary is $70,000 and your pre salary is less than $20 per hour, your final pension payment will equal $70 x $20 = $15,000 for a total of $30 per month, and you’ll get $50,000 as a pension.5.
How can I change my pension?
If you want to make a change in your plans, you can change your payment amount, the base number, or the increment amount by calling the pension helpline or contacting the pension office at your workplace.
6.
Is it possible to pay a lump-sum payment to my employer?
Yes, you could pay a payment to your employer for your pension benefits.
However, it may be cheaper to pay lump sums from your super, a 401(k), or a pension savings vehicle.
7.
Will my employer get the money if I change?
Yes.
You’ll get the payment if your employer receives your pension contribution.
However if you have other plans in place, you’ll need to talk to your super or pension administrator to discuss how to proceed.8.
How long do I have to keep my pension payments in place?
Pension payments are paid for a defined period of time, usually three to five years.
The longer your pension stays in place the better your pension will be.
However some people want to keep the payments in their super, 401(ks), or pension savings vehicles, and some prefer to keep them on their employer.
