    Retirement life planning

    Start your retirement planning early to secure sufficient financial resources for your ideal retirement life

    Plan ahead for your ideal retirement

    With longer life expectancy and rising inflation, retirement planning is essential for building a comfortable and secure retirement life. Check out our retirement planning guide and start planning the retirement you want.

    Set a clear retirement goal and create your own retirement plan

    It is important to plan your future retirement, regardless of how old you are. The earlier you start planning and saving for retirement, the more time you will have to benefit from the power of compounding effect and grow your wealth, which helps ensure sufficient funding and protection to support your retirement life.

    • Set your retirement goal: Retirement lifestyles vary from person to person. Start planning your retirement by figuring out the goals. For example, think about at what age you would like to retire and what your preferred lifestyle is. Then you can work out how much saving you need to achieve it.
    • Calculate retirement savings: Remember to factor in your retirement age, health condition, inflation rate, expected income and expenditure in your retirement years. There is no definitive answer when it comes to retirement saving. Yet, according to a survey on retirement1 (Chinese version only) conducted by Hang Seng Bank in mid-2022, respondents with liquid assets of more than HKD1 million expected they would need to spend HKD276,000 a year after retirement to maintain their current standard of living.

    Prepare your financial reserves and secure medical protection

    After setting a clear retirement goal, you should work towards it by saving, investing, building protection, and select the appropriate financial products for your retirement needs.

    • Save and invest: The majority of workforce have some sort of retirement protection from different retirement schemes like MPF. However, these schemes may not be able to support your ideal retirement goal with basic protection. To help expand your retirement reserves, you might start by building the habit of saving and investing. Below are some examples on common wealth accumulation products.
      • Endowment plans: An insurance plan with savings element, where the policyholder pays premiums regularly over a period of time and gets a guaranteed cash value upon maturity
      • Monthly Investment Plan for Funds: This regular subscription investment helps you build investment habits where you can invest your contribution consistently to grow your wealth and benefit from "Dollar Cost Averaging" to reduce the overall impact of market volatility
    • Make extra income during retirement: Besides saving for retirement reserves, you may consider to use part of it to invest in products that would help create a stable income stream during your retirement. Deferred annuity is one of the common retirement products that would help generate passive income for retirees. It involves accumulation and annuity period. You pay the premiums for a fixed duration, then the paid-up sum would build up in value during the accumulation period, then you would start receiving regular annuity income at annuity period.
    • Secure health protection: Employees may lose their job-based health coverage upon retirement. Make sure you are well covered with medical insurance during your retirement, or else the heavy medical expenses, whether arising from illness or accidents, would drain your retirement savings and hence disrupt your retirement life.

    Enjoy retired life

    While enjoying your retirement years, don't forget to properly manage your retirement savings.

    • Withdrawal of MPF: When you retire at the age of 65 or retire early at the age of 60, you can withdraw your MPF accrued benefits in a lump sum or by instalments depending on your personal needs and financial circumstances.
    • Enjoy social welfare: The government offers a variety of social benefits to the elderlies, including non-means-tested Old Age Living Allowance, Health Care Voucher Scheme, Senior Citizen Card Scheme, and transportation allowance, which help retirees reduce daily costs.
    • Manage your retirement savings carefully: It is important to keep a close eye on your income and expenses. You may consider to invest in low-risk products like time deposits to grow your retirement income. Besides, the Hong Kong government has issued the Silver Bond previously, which allows the senior citizens aged 60 or above to earn steady returns. Interest payments are paid every six months and are linked to the average annual inflation rate, subject to a minimum interest rate. These kinds of products might help support your retirement life by increasing savings.
