The Pension Calculator

It's your pension. Take control

With the new pension rules applying to all UK pension plans, it's time for a new online modeller. Specifically designed for direct use by employees, The Pension Calculator works with any Group Personal Pension, Defined Contribution or Defined Benefit scheme.

Interface

The front end is rich in features and movement and much more engaging for employees than old-style 'spreadsheet' modellers. All key results are illustrated graphically as well as numerically to make this crucial part of the benefits package better understood and more valued. Pre-configured to your scheme basis, pre- populated with your employees' details and with live data links to ensure values are up to date, The Pension Calculator shows an immediate 'hands-off' view and is primed and ready for modelling.

Technology

The Pension Calculator can plug in to any UK pension scheme, even if it is currently offline, with 24x7 online access via our website, or your Intranet if you prefer. The calculation engine is built separately from the interface so that, as well as presenting results to individual employees, it can be used by employers and Trustees for bulk tasks, like identifying who might come close to the Lifetime Allowance and need specialist attention. Having this ability to target only those who need advice means lower fees to advisers.

Knowledge

The Pension Calculator is built by two teams working closely together — experienced consultants still assisting employees with their pension planning, alongside in-house developers. The result is technology that helps real people with actual issues, turning what can feel like a remote benefit into something tangible and interesting. Already tried and tested with over 35,000 users, it can handle most modelling scenarios, to a level previously possible only with an adviser, but now with instant results.

"Interactive and graphical, it provides information and answers that members actually want – a check against the Lifetime Allowance, how to aim for a target pension, add other pensions for a view of the total portfolio. These all make it a really valuable tool and encourage repeat use."
