Planning for your ideal retirement
Life after work should be exciting, and having a clear plan is key. Our approach to retirement planning helps you to invest in products that are right for you, maximise your allowances, improve your tax efficiency and consolidate your pensions. With the guidance of our experts, you can confidently navigate your financial future – including how you can fund it and what you can do right now to bring it one step closer.
Save tax with a pension
Your pension can do more than fund retirement. With proper pension planning, you could reduce your tax bill and grow your wealth more quickly.
The 60% tax trap
Earning £100,000 to £125,140? By paying more into your pension, you could avoid paying up to 60% tax on that part of your income.
Unused allowances
'Carry forward' means using any pension allowances you didn't maximise in the past three tax years. This could help lower your tax bill.
Pension tapering
If your threshold income is over £200,000 and adjusted income is over £260,000, paying more into your pension could avoid your pension allowance being reduced.
Tax relief
Pension contributions give you tax relief at your marginal rate. The basic 20% is automatic, and higher or additional rate taxpayers can claim extra relief on any personal pensions through self-assessment.
Tax rules vary by individual status and may change. Pension rules apply.
