The Irish State Pension (Contributory) provides a foundation of retirement income for those who qualify, but it is tied entirely to your PRSI contribution record. Many people are surprised to discover that gaps in their record \u2014 from time abroad, career breaks, or self-employment \u2014 mean they will not receive the full amount. And even at the maximum rate, the State Pension alone is not sufficient for most people to maintain their pre-retirement lifestyle. PPFS will help you understand your entitlement, identify any contribution gaps while there is still time to address them, and build a plan that supplements the State Pension appropriately.\u200b<\/p>

\u201cDo you know how many PRSI contributions you have on record \u2014 and whether you are currently on track for the full State Pension?\u200b\u201d<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
