Why use our pension contribution calculator

  • Know your retirement income

    Be confident you're contributing enough for when you retire, and if it's enough for the kind of lifestyle you'll want.

  • Learn about tax relief

    Pensions are one of the most tax-efficient ways of saving for retirement. Our calculator shows you how much tax relief you could get when you increase your contributions.

  • Guidance with your employer

    If you'd like to discuss paying more into your pension, we've included some questions to help with the conversation.

Before you use the calculator

If you've already got a financial adviser, it's a good idea to speak to them first. They might already have a plan in place for when you retire. 

Information you'll need to hand

  • Your current pension value
  • How much you and your employer contribute each month
  • What age you'd like to retire.

Important information

This calculator doesn't provide personalised advice or recommendations. What you actually get when you retire will depend on how your investments perform - this could be more or less than the amounts shown.
