It’s really clear Dan has great knowledge and expertise around pensions and we had a great thought provoking conversation. I left the meeting with a much clearer idea of what my pension next steps should be. I’d thoroughly recommend Abode Financial planning.

Been working with Abode for some 18 months and they are great. Amazing customer service and client interaction, always putting the customer first. The focus is on customer needs, listening to concerns, ideas and financial priorities. Couldn't recommend Adode enough ....

Having initially used Daniel for pension advice, we decided that his knowledge and expertise was useful input into all our investment decisions. Abode provide excellent advice and access to first class investments. This gives us both peace of mind that we're making good investment decisions along with personal service tailored to our needs. Our regular meetings are an opportunity to ensure our investment strategy continues to suit our circumstances and we use Dan as a sounding board for ideas. We really value the Abode team's input.

I had an excellent experience with Abode Financial Planning, working closely with Dan. His knowledge and expertise were outstanding, especially given the complex situation I found myself in. Dan made everything feel manageable and took the time to put me at ease throughout the entire process. He is incredibly approachable, professional, and genuinely committed to understanding not just the issue at hand, but my wider goals as well. I felt fully supported and confident in every step we took. I would highly recommend Dan and Abode Financial Planning, and I look forward to continuing our ongoing financial journey with him for myself and my family. - Thank you to Dan and the Abode team 👍

Dan at Abode is both incredibly approachable but also very knowledgeable and professional. For someone who doesn't easily understand the topic of finances, he makes it easy to follow and always without judgement. I would be 100% happy to recommend Abode to anybody.

Daniel has a much appreciated ability to listen to and understand his clients. He grasps every detail and nuance and is able to translate the personal circumstances into the appropriate strategy for the situation and person. He is excellent at explaining concepts. Both Daniel and Emily are very personable and have have impeccable attention to detail, spoken and otherwise. They are understanding and empathetic. And proactive and prompt to perfection.

I’ve been working with Dan and his team for a few years now and I really can’t recommend them enough. The guidance and support they’ve provided from the very beginning has given me so much confidence in my financial future and peace of mind knowing I’m on the right track, especially with a young family. I’ve also learned a lot along the way which is a bonus! We always look forward to our meetings with Dan and come away feeling empowered and excited for our future.

Understanding your results

What do your results mean?

If your pensions appear to be on track

A positive result can give you a useful indication of your current position, but it does not guarantee that your retirement plan will work as expected.

If the checker shows a gap

A gap does not automatically mean your retirement plans are unaffordable. You may want to explore your retirement age, pension contributions, expected spending and other savings or income.

Keep the bigger picture in mind

Your result is a useful starting point, but retirement planning involves more than reaching a single pension figure. Investment returns will vary, your spending may change and tax rules may change.

What are the retirement
living standards?

The Retirement Living Standards provide examples of how much annual spending different retirement lifestyles may require.

They describe different levels of retirement spending, based on the types of goods, services and experiences someone may want to afford.

Our checker uses these figures as a starting point when comparing your projected pension savings with the retirement lifestyle you select.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently asked
questions

How accurate is the retirement readiness checker?

The checker provides an illustration based on the information you enter and the assumptions shown on this page. It cannot predict future investment returns, inflation, tax changes or changes to your spending.

There is no single figure that works for everyone. The amount you need depends on the lifestyle you want, when you retire, how long your money needs to last and what other income or savings you have. Read our how much money to I need to retire article for more information.

The checker can help you compare your current defined contribution pension savings with an illustrated retirement lifestyle.

Yes. The checker includes an allowance for the State Pension based on the assumptions shown on this page.

Your own State Pension entitlement may be different, you can check this on GOV.UK.

Do not include a final salary or defined benefit pension within the pension pot figure entered into the checker.

These pensions normally provide an income rather than a pot of money, so they need to be considered separately when looking at your retirement income.

Retiring before State Pension age may mean you need to fund part of your retirement from pensions, ISAs, cash or other assets before your State Pension starts.
