How much money do you need to retire at 60?
We are often asked this question and as a general rule of thumb you need 20 – 25 times your retirement expenses. So, if you spend £30,000 per year, you’ll need £600,000 – £750,000 in pensions, investments and savings to be able to retire.
Another top tip is that you should save 12.5 per cent of your monthly salary.

Are my pensions going to give me the income I want, when I want it?
This of course, is the most important question of all and there are many statistics online to show you the average pot on retirement, what the State Pension will provide and what level of income this will deliver.
Pension planning and cashflow modelling
Our Advisers use sophisticated software to plot your own pension and retirement journey, showing you how much you have saved, how much more you need to save (be it pensions, ISA’s, other forms of savings or investments etc) and your income and expenditure needs.
Your Adviser will work with you to create an interactive model which will be reviewed and adjusted with each change in your circumstances.
