pension planning
Future income strategy
Pension planning is the process of preparing financially for retirement—calculating future needs, choosing investment vehicles, and structuring contributions to ensure adequate income after leaving the workforce.
It encompasses decisions about employer-sponsored plans, individual retirement accounts, and government benefits: We started pension planning in our thirties.
The term is more common in British English; Americans typically say retirement planning.
