Used your pension calculator for the first time this weekend. It`s so much easier than trying to create my own spreadsheet and formulas. Now have a much better handle on retirement date and plans

Vom Unternehmen geschrieben
We only have one aim, to give savers direct access to, or allow trustees, employers and providers to provide tools their pension savers need, to improve their retirement outcomes. Put simply, there are plenty of tools which tell pension savers if they take A each year, earn B returns, their pots will last for C years. For almost everyone these offer no practical help, as nearly everyone has other income or savings to put towards retirement. Included in these are State Pensions, Final Salary pensions, ISA savings and part time work for example. Some of these are taxable, some are not. Our tool is the only fully holistic planning tool that can be used directly by individuals without expert input. Our tool answers the one question pension savers actually want answered, "How do I use everything I have, to get the after tax income I want in retirement?". You can visit the Guiide website for much more detail and to try it for yourself.

Incredibly useful calculation for projected retirement drawdown with lots of useful sources of advice and providers. Future plans will make this invaluable!

Very good site for a top down view
Very good site for a top down view. However, it currently doesnt include taxes. Once it does, I dont think anything below 5 stars is warranted.
Great work so far
Edited to 5 stars - see their comments on taxes.

Hi
Thanks for the review, we calculate income tax and take it off the total income to give you the net income wanted. We even try to make it income tax efficient. As for other taxes CGT etc have a read of this blog below on how to deal with them.

Used this tool a few times now and recommended it to friends and family really useful.1 thing which would be great is the couples forecast(i know this is in development).To work around this i just input details of myself, then do a separate for the wife which amounts to the same thing. Keep up the good work guys.

Many thanks for the review. If it was down to us we would have had couples planning in some time ago.
Can now start getting this sorted after a year plus of regulatory discussions

Very helpful, but ...
Very helpful. Considerably better than most pension calculators. But, would have been more helpful 1) to be able to review all of the assumptions & each calculation, & 2) to have been able to consider as a couple. Also, the tax figures looked unrealistically low.
Thanks, Kevin for your reply. In my plan I have an income of £60k, and no tax payable. I can't see how that is possible. And the assumptions don't provide enough detail for me to check the calculations.
I am grateful for having free access to such a comprehensive model. Yes, drawing money from savings doesn't attract income tax, but savings do attract dividend tax, & CGT, or interest tax. Full details of the calculations and detailed assumptions would help make everything clearer, and then people can make their own adjustments if needed.

Hi Brian
Thanks for the review, on your three points
1. We put all of the assumptions on the Review page in great detail
2. Check out our blogs, you'll see the lack of couples modelling to date has not been done to us but regulatory restrictions which we have spent lots on legal and regulatory advice to get to where we are now after over a year of discussions. But we cant influence how long it takes for regulators to act.
3. If you have an issue with any tax figure in any year, let me know which one and Ill break it down. All our calcs are correct I can assure you of that.
In response to your question, you've said you have a large amount of savings and also will also receive a lump sum which will go into your savings so youll have very large savings pots in retirement. Youve said you want to protect all your pension pots and not draw these down, so it can only take money from your savings, drawing money from savings doesn't attract income tax. This is set out in the breakdown of source type chart in the Design page and also in the detail on the Review page, where it tells you where the money is coming from, so zero tax is correct given what you have put in and selected?
Yes, drawing money from savings doesn't attract income tax, but savings do attract dividend tax, & CGT, or interest tax.
Indeed some do, some don't, if in an ISA, that's why you should allow for that in the savings return assumption as it affects the return/growth you get, not the income tax paid. Yes we can make that clearer in the assumptions. We are doing a series of top tip blogs, ill add one on CGT, Dividend Tax etc and how to allow for it.
Many thanks for the feedback.
Kevin
Useful, but could be much better.
Liked the ease of set up but not quite enough options or detail for me.
I think it would help if we could name each savings pot.
Also I couldn’t seem to alter the retirement date to map diferent scenarios.
Still a fairly useful tool though.

An incredibly valuable retirement planning tool!
I stumbled upon this website when looking through retirement planning forums on facebook, and I'm so pleased I did. It was a simple task to enter details of my final salary & defined contribution pensions, plus details of other investments. Once your info is loaded it runs through a plan for retirement, that for me was nearly perfect, and it stress tests that plan to see how investment fluctuations etc. may impact your strategy. That's as far as I've got right now but I can't wait to dive in & find out more!
Thanks so much for this rather excellent free tool!

Simple to use cash flow and net worth retirement modeller
Guiide retirement finance modeller worked well for me. Gives both graphics and tabulated output. Easy data input and clear options for interest rate assumptions. A couple of additional features would make it even better. (1) ability to enter separately for a couple and give separate and combined model outputs and (2) showing the output of 5 stress tests in same graphic format rather than just a statement of impact. I suppose the idea is that for more in-depth you link through to a Financial Advisor? However the existing free features are pretty impressive.

HI Ray
Many thanks for the thorough review and the feedback is really great. We will add these additional features over time, there is a lot on our blogs about the delays to the couples element which has been out of our hands.
You can use Guiide and manage things on your own for free if you are able to, or take it to an adviser if you feel you need a recommendation on a suitable provider and investment strategy as we cant do that.
Again thanks a lot for the review and really pleased you found it helpful

Many thanks for the review and yes always happy to answer any questions anyone has. Its a mix of keeping it simple with being able to do everything someone may need, but we can usually find a workaround if someone wants to model something different.
