Deep dives

Understanding Individual Pension Plans (IPP)

An individual pension plan (IPP) is a type of defined benefit plan specifically available for incorporated professionals over the age of 40 who pay themselves a salary. Contributions to the IPP are determined by the salary taken and the number of years of service within the corporation. This form of pension plan allows funds to grow tax-sheltered, making it an attractive option for those looking to enhance their retirement benefits. However, IPPs also come with setup and maintenance costs that should be accounted for when considering their viability.
