Independent Irish pension information. Not a financial advisor. Here to help you understand the decision — then connect you with someone regulated to give you advice.
Pensionplanner.ie is an independent Irish pension information resource. We explain Irish pension rules in plain English — auto-enrolment (My Future Fund), PRSAs, self-employed options, drawdown, the state pension, tax relief, consolidation. We also maintain a directory of Central Bank regulated pension advisors who we can connect you with when you need professional guidance.
We are Irish-owned and operated. Our content is written for people who want to understand the decision before they make it — not people who want to be sold something.
We are not regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland. We do not give financial advice. Nothing on this site constitutes a personal recommendation. We describe how pension products and rules work; we do not tell you what to do with your specific money in your specific situation.
If you need a personal recommendation — which most people do, particularly for consolidation, drawdown, or executive pension decisions — our advisor directory connects you with Central Bank regulated professionals who can give you proper advice.
Content is written and reviewed in Ireland, drawing on primary sources: the Pensions Authority, Revenue, Department of Social Protection, Citizens Information, and relevant legislation (Pensions Acts, Finance Acts).
We update content when rules change. Auto-enrolment (My Future Fund) launched 1 January 2026 — our content reflects the current scheme rules. If you spot something out of date, email us.
Pensionplanner.ie earns revenue through two routes:
We do not accept payment to change our editorial position, endorse specific products, or write sponsored content presented as independent information.
