What is the difference between a pension and savings fund?

[miztersam]

Pension is money deducted from your salary and given back to you after a very long time let me say on your retirement while savings funds might purposely be for a short time more like keeping money for businese you are starting a year or months later

 

[Anas Chaudhary]

Pensions last longer than savings or investment plans. Generally, you can avail personal pension as soon as possible for those who are 60 years old. Therefore, they are generally not suitable as short-term savings plans.

 

[Gilead]

Savings fund is quite different from pension fund. Savings fund is saved up as a personal account and it's being managed by you personally but pension fund is not being managed by you, it is paid to you at the end of your service to the organization.

 

[BuchiBankz]

Pensions tend to be for a longer period of time than savings or investment plans. Generally, the earliest you can take benefits from a personal pension is aged 60. Therefore, they are usually unsuitable as shorter term savings plans.

Payments to savings and investments accounts or plans, on the other hand, do not receive tax relief. Additionally, any investment growth or interest earned may be subject to DIRT or Exit Tax

As well as any income or cash taken from your pension pot, your other assets (e.g. savings and investments) may also count when you're assessed for benefits.

The big advantage of saving or investing outside a pension is that you'll be able to use the money earlier if you want to, whereas pensions can usually only be taken from the age of 55.

the savings fund is the money that you have saved from ypur own pocket and can be requested anytime for use or purpose while pension is a part of your salary that you have allocated to be saved monthly and which the government can add to on your behalf

 

[Setho]

The both of them are very important when mapping out plans for retirement but they have their own differences. A pension fund is an allocation sent to a person monthly after spending a particular amount of years on active service. There are various ways in which pensions are being calculated.
A savings on the other hand is just the amounts of money the individual decides to keep for himself in planning for retirement.

 

[Ebensco]

The pension and savings are almost the same because when you retire from work and your savings from your previous job, the government will give you the savings you have accumulated, for example in the bank, but the savings are good when you put them in the bank and your money will grow

 

[Bart Simpson]

A private pension is an account where the public money is building up, with the promise that it will be yours for when you retire. It is NOT an account you open yourself, since it is funded over a period of time by your taxes. It is NOT a savings account, as you will open it with a traditional bank, which will give you no interest. It is NOT an investment account, since the money is already raised by you.

 

[Samuel77]

According to my own point of view pension fund is a particular amount of money being remove from your salary every month. it's an agreement with the company and will also be paid back to you after retirement every month. but saving money can be on your own choice. You can decide to save whenever you like Mike al

 

[AbAttitude1]

Well shall I will say that they I a big difference between them because they are being paid to some one. But for pantion own they are been paid to the person that is retired from a particular job activities but while fund stuff I the one been paid to a worker

The big advantage of savings or investing outside a pension is that you'll be able to use the money earlier if you want to, whereas pensions can usually only be taken from the age of 55.

 

[Highflyer]

There is a huge difference between pension and savings fund, which is also called end well bonus by some ministries. The savings fund is accumulated since you get your employment till the day you retire, while your pension is paid to you monthly in your retirement.

 

[Atifbismil]

There is a big difference between the two. What is not saved is that the saving you get is so much benefit if you save more then save more if you reduce less then the pension is from the government according to your service. In contrast, saving depends on how much you save and how much you spend

 

[Mastercoded]

PENSION IS THE MONEY THAT IS PAID TO A RETIRED WORKER EITHER ON WEEKLY OR MONTHLY BASES.
SAVING FUNDS IS THE MONEY YOU KEEP ASIDE FROM YOUR SALARY TO SAVE FOR FUTURE USE OR EMERGENCY
SAVING IS A PERSONAL THING, PENSION IS PAID BY THE COMPANY OR WORKER.

 

[Muhammadawais]

A provident fund is a government-run retirement fund. A pension plan is a retirement plan run by an employer. Pension funds work like annual money. Provident funds act like 401 (k) or savings accounts.

 

[Asma]

pension is reward for you years job and give you after retairment but saving funds is differents its that money which you save by your own money it will remain at the time you will not use.

 

[Olubayo12]

When you create a pension fund this is essentially money that will be put away and be paid out to you upon your retirement in order to fund your lifestyle at that time. It ensures that you have enough money even after you retire to continue to meet your financial needs. However, this sounds very similar to a savings account that you have had for a long term in my opinion. In a savings account you can put or deposit a certain portion of your funds monthly and save them for later on, when you so need them, or at your retirement.

What are the differences between a pension fund and a savings account, because they seem to serve the same purpose and have the same mechanisms driving it.

Savings fund is the amount of money an individual or a company has in their personal savings account while pension is the amount of money, usually paid monthly, given to a retiree by the government regularly. The two are kind of different.

[HIFSA LAHORI]

The difference between pension and saving is that you get pension after you retire. While saving your money is what you save. Whether it's pension money from another household income. Saving is also very important because it is difficult to meet household expenses with pension.
