Frequently asked questions
How much pension pot do I need?
The PLSA retirement living standards put a moderate single lifestyle at roughly a £31k-a-year income level (2024 figures); the state pension (about £12,548 a year in 2026/27 sources) covers part of it, and your pot must fund the rest.
What is the 25% tax-free lump sum?
Most people can take up to 25% of their pension pot tax-free from age 55 (57 from 2028), subject to an overall lump-sum allowance.
