Retirement pension default option calculator

This English guide translates the Korean retirement-pension default-option page. The calculator calls calculateDefaultOption for DC and IRP assets that may be invested by preselected default products.

What the default option does

In Korean DC and IRP plans, idle cash can be moved into a default option when the participant does not provide investment instructions. The goal is to reduce long-term cash drag, but the result depends on product risk grade, expected return, and fees.

The Korean model compares ultra-low, low, medium, and high risk grades. It keeps current balance, monthly contribution, expected return, fee, investment period, and risk level rather than treating the page as a flat annual return stub.

DC and IRP context

DC accounts are employer-sponsored defined-contribution retirement pensions, while IRP accounts are individual retirement pension accounts that can hold personal contributions and transferred retirement pay. Both can use default-option products, but employer rules and product menus can differ.

The page should be read together with pension savings, IRP tax-credit allocation, and early-withdrawal tax calculators. A higher expected return can be inappropriate if the user cannot tolerate drawdown before retirement.

Result interpretation

The result estimates projected balance, total contribution, investment gain, cost, and comparison with a cash-like or lower-risk scenario. It helps quantify the opportunity cost of leaving retirement assets uninvested for many years.

Default options are still financial products. Principal loss is possible, fees and benchmarks vary, and the user should review the plan document before selecting a risk grade.
