What does this mean for you?Pension flexibility

With this pension, everyone has control over how they take money from their pension.

There’s a minimum age after which you can withdraw money, but pensions are now one of the most tax-efficient and flexible ways to save for the future.

Your payment choicesHow much should you pay?

It's up to you - as long as you meet any minimums set. But remember, paying in a little bit more now could make a big difference when you retire.

About to retire?

You've worked hard all your life to get to this point, so it makes sense to get the most from your pension with a little preparation and planning. There's lots of helpful information right here, including a step by step guide to help you figure out what you should do when.

 

 Remember

Your pension is normally a long term investment and you usually can't withdraw money until the age of 55 (may be subject to change). As with any investment, the value can go down as well as up and may be worth less than what was paid in.
