Assumptions

Notes:

These values are for illustrative purposes only and are NOT a promise or guarantee that a pension will be paid at the rate shown. It shows the amount of pension that might be payable when you retire, in today's prices. It has been worked out in accordance with The Occupational and Personal Pension Schemes (Disclosure of Information) Amendment Regulations 2002 (SI 2002/1383) and Technical Memorandum 1 using various assumptions.

Among other things, your final pension will depend on:
  • when you actually retire and start to take your pension;
  • the actual contributions made;
  • the way your own fund is invested, and the investment growth it achieves;
  • how much it costs to buy a pension when you retire;
  • whether you choose to buy a fixed pension or one that increases each year and what allowance (if any) you make for a pension for your [husband][wife].
This illustration has been calculated using general assumptions about various factors, including:
  • that you will buy a pension that will increase each year in line with inflation (the Retail Price Index) and
  • that when you die you will be married to some-one three years [older][younger] than yourself, who will inherit half of your pension.
  • that your earnings will rise in line with inflation in future. In practice, earnings have in general grown faster on average than prices, though this varies significantly between people.
  • we have assumed you will take 25% as a tax-free lump sum.
  • we have assumed you will retire at the age of 65.
  • we used 7% as the rate-of-return for this calculation.
  • we used 1.5% as the annual charge for this calculation.

What actually happens and your own individual circumstances may vary considerably from these general assumptions. The actual amount of pension will depend on the actual performance of the investments and the cost of buying a pension when you retire and so may be significantly different from the amount shown here. Because of this, you should consider getting further information or advice before you review your pension arrangements.
