Active members and their employers pay contributions based on the insured salary to fund retirement, disability and death benefits. The savings contributions vary, depending on the pension plan type (standard/management) and age. You can also make additional, voluntary savings contributions to top up your retirement assets. Depending on your plan type (standard/management), you can choose from a number of percentage options for your voluntary savings contributions.
