Q: What is the GHC 25,000 limit introduced by SSNIT?

A: SSNIT has introduced a limit of the maximum salary on which your contribution can be deducted – GHC 25, 000. This means that even if you earn more than this, your deduction for Tier 1 will only be done on GHC 25,000. In this case, the highest you can receive for your monthly pension is GHC 15,000 (60% of the salary). If you earn more than this and you still want to save more towards your retirement, you can consider putting more money in your Tier 3 or your investment account.
