What is a Retirement Annuity?
Save. Grow. Retire.
A Retirement Annuity helps you save for retirement with tax-efficient growth and protected savings.
It allows you to contribute regularly while benefiting from tax relief of up to 27.5% of your gross income. Investments grow tax-free with a range of portfolio options tailored to your risk preferences.
You can transfer your Retirement Annuity to another provider or consolidate multiple annuities for easier management. Upon retirement, your funds can be transferred into a Living or Life Annuity for continued income security.
At Investonline, we tailor Retirement Annuities to maximise retirement savings.

How Retirement Annuity Contributions Work?
Retirement Annuity Contributions
Save R110,000 with a Retirement Annuity
If you earn R1,000,000 per year and contribute R275,000 (the maximum of 27.5%) to a RA, your taxable income reduces to R725,000.
At a 39% marginal tax rate (SARS sliding scale):
- Without RA contribution: Tax = R292,284 per annum
- With RA contribution: Reduced Tax = R182,192 per annum
Tax Savings: You save R110,092 annually in your pocket instead of paying it to SARS while growing a Retirement Annuity.
