Will your pension pay for the retirement you want?

Whether your pensions will cover the retirement you want, and by how much they miss.

What it is doing

It grows what you already hold plus what you pay in at the growth rate you set, after inflation, then takes 4% a year out of the result. That 4% is a common planning assumption and nothing guarantees it. Lower the growth rate and see how much the answer moves.

Everything is in today's money.

What it cannot tell you

It cannot tell you the most efficient way to close a gap: the order you take benefits in, what tax relief is available to you, and whether an old scheme carries guarantees that a replacement could not match.

This is information. It is not a personal recommendation. Whether any of it is right for you depends on your circumstances.
