Decide when to start taking your pension
Timing can play a big part in the income you receive when you retire. Currently, you can draw on your pension savings from as early as 55, rising to 57 in 2028.
Retirement isn’t as cut and dry as it used to be, a lot of people now choose to “semi-retire” and work part time, using a combination of income from their job and their pension.
Whatever is right for you, we can help you understand the options and opportunities you have.
Retirement Income
The income you receive when you retire can come from a variety of sources. When calculating how much you would like your income in retirement to be, consider where all your possible income could derive from. Money you receive from your State Pension, your spouse or partners pension, any personal pensions, savings or properties could all have an impact.
