Understanding Your Pension Options

  • Consolidation: Combining multiple pots into one modern plan. Reduces paperwork and often lowers fees, but check for exit penalties.
  • The 25% Tax-Free Lump Sum: You can typically take up to 25% of your pension tax-free from age 55 (rising to 57 in 2028).
  • Flexi-Access Drawdown: Keep your pension invested and take income as you need it. Flexible, but requires careful management to avoid running out of funds.
  • Annuities: Exchange your pot for a guaranteed income for life. Rates have improved recently. Secure, but inflexible.
  • Defined Benefit (Final Salary): Gold-plated pensions promising a set income. Transferring is risky and requires specialist advice.

Pension Frequently Asked Questions

When can I access my pension?

Currently, you can access private pensions from age 55. This is rising to age 57 in April 2028. State pension age is currently 66. Early access is only possible in rare circumstances like serious ill health.

How much is the State Pension?

The full new State Pension is £203.85 per week (2023/24 tax year). To get the full amount, you typically need 35 qualifying years of National Insurance contributions. It's rarely enough to fund a comfortable retirement on its own.

What happens to my pension when I die?

Defined contribution pensions are very tax-efficient for inheritance. If you die before age 75, your beneficiaries can usually inherit the pot tax-free. After 75, they pay income tax on withdrawals. It's crucial to keep your "Expression of Wish" forms updated with your provider.
