Wealth & Retirement Strategies for Medical Consultants

As a medical consultant, your expertise is your livelihood. But with high earnings, demanding schedules, and complex income structures, retirement planning can feel like navigating a maze. Without a clear strategy, you risk paying unnecessary tax or missing out on valuable long-term benefits.
⚕️ The Key Challenges
1️⃣ Complex Pension Structures
Since the Single Public Service Pension Scheme and new consultant contracts were introduced, calculating benefits has become increasingly complicated. Many consultants now hold a mix of superannuation, single-scheme and PRSA/AVC contributions — each governed by different Revenue valuation factors.
2️⃣ High-Earning Pitfalls
By 2030, the lifetime pension savings cap will reach €2.8 million. Many consultants are already on track to hit that limit. Without expert oversight, you could lose valuable tax relief or exceed Revenue thresholds unintentionally.
3️⃣ Salary Deductions & Contribution Confusion
Revenue’s capital-value formula for the single scheme adds another layer of complexity. Knowing how much you can contribute privately and still claim tax relief requires specialist financial guidance.
💡 Why Pension Planning Matters
✅ Up to 40 % tax relief on contributions
✅ Those aged 50 + can contribute 30 – 40 % of earnings
✅ Consolidate multiple pensions for clarity and lower fees
✅ Plan strategically to stay below the €2.8 m limit
The maximum contribution table is as follows:
