Save enough

Every few years you put off saving, you'll have to save more to get what you could have achieved originally.

The chart below shows the sort of level of saving you need to consider to achieve the level of income you want at retirement. For example, if at age 65 you want to receive 50% of your current income as pension and you start saving at age 30, then the indication is that you should be saving 15% of your salary towards your pension.

Click on the relevant age on the left to view the level of saving you need to consider for your target level of income at retirement.



The percentages shown in the chart include the 8% of your salary that IBM credits to your Retirement Account.
