Will you have enough income when you retire?

Early pension planning is the key to a financially stable retirement. A well-prepared pension plan can help provide financial security and enable you to maintain the lifestyle you have become accustomed to prior to your retirement. Your state pension is likely to be a small part of your retirement income, with the greater part derived from contributions made by you and your employer during your working life. Often people who do not plan for their retirement are caught out by the shortfall between what they expected to receive and what they actually receive.

Pensions are a tax efficient way to save for your retirement. Under the current rules tax relief at your marginal rate is given on personal contributions invested and the pension fund grows free from capital gains tax. In addition, pensions sit outside of your estate for inheritance tax purposes, therefore they can pass through to your beneficiaries free of inheritance tax.

Planning for your retirement starts long before you reach pensionable age with your income in retirement coming from a number of sources.
