Two-pot update with Redwaan Zoutenberg

Redwaan Zoutenberg, Technical Marketing Specialist at FundsAtWork, breaks down how much will go into your savings and retirement component in the two-pot system.

What is the two-pot
retirement system?

The two-pot system is set to change retirement planning. Despite its name, the system comprises 3 components. Starting 1 September 2024, your retirement savings will be divided into a vested, savings, and retirement component.

Why is the government
doing this?

The government has established the savings component to facilitate access to some of your retirement savings in a financial emergency.

How much money can you withdraw and what are the implications?

The minimum withdrawal amount from the savings component is R2 000, and such withdrawals are subject to applicable taxes and administrative fees.

How should you view your 3 retirement components?

The 3 pots are considered a single retirement plan because any withdrawal from one pot reduces your overall retirement savings.
