In this episode, we tackle a startling reality: over 60% of people have no idea what their retirement will look like financially. We explore why pension planning feels so overwhelming and introduce Calculators for Pensions, a free platform that's making retirement planning accessible to everyone.
What We Cover
We break down the four free calculators available on the platform. The Pension Pot Calculator shows how your savings could grow using just three inputs: your age, current pension value, and monthly contributions. The Retirement Income Calculator translates those big numbers into practical monthly income you can actually plan around. The State Pension Calculator helps you understand your National Insurance record and whether you're on track for the full £10,600 annual entitlement. And the Tax Relief Calculator reveals the free money most people don't realise they're getting, with the government adding 20% to every contribution for basic rate taxpayers and even more for higher earners.
Key Takeaways
The platform requires no sign-up, no email, and no payment. Results arrive in around two minutes. Over 50,000 people across the UK have already used it to gain clarity about their retirement finances. Understanding your numbers is the first step toward feeling confident about your future.
