■ Pensions: There are so many ways to 'save,' but why does no one tell you how to 'withdraw'?
You have diligently saved for pension savings, IRPs, and ISAs.
However, did you know that the taxes you pay can vary by millions of won depending on which account you withdraw from first after age 55?
Pension Compass is the first pension tax simulator in Korea that focuses on the 'order of withdrawal.'
We find the path that minimizes taxes, even when withdrawing the same amount.
■ This is for those who:
· Plan withdrawals from Pension Savings, IRPs, or ISAs ahead of retirement
· Consider whether to transfer matured ISA funds to a pension account
· Are confused about the 15 million won threshold for pension income tax
· Are worried about facing a "tax bomb" due to pension withdrawals
