Retirement Financial Planning FAQS
Below, we have answered some frequently asked questions concerning retirement financial planning
-
How much money can I comfortably withdraw from my pension without running out?
This is a crucial question for many approaching retirement. Our financial advisers can provide you with an accurate pension forecast and discuss strategies to help you maximise your savings.
-
Can I afford to retire now?
The answer depends on your lifestyle and financial situation. Our team can help you budget and determine if it’s more beneficial for you to retire now or wait.
-
What’s the most efficient way to take a regular pension income?
Options like pension annuities offer a guaranteed income for life, while pension drawdown provides flexibility. The best choice depends on your attitude to risk and personal circumstances.
-
Why do I need a tax code for taking money from my pension?
Any pension income over the tax-free lump sum that exceeds the Personal Allowance will be taxable. HMRC should provide you with a tax code to ensure you pay the correct amount.
-
How long will it take to receive my first pension payment?
The timing varies by provider. It’s best to check the terms of your pension schemes and submit any necessary forms well in advance. For the State Pension, you’ll typically receive your first payment within five weeks of reaching the State Pension age.
-
Should I use my pension funds now or use alternative retirement sources first?
This depends on your individual situation. Pensions offer tax relief on contributions, and withdrawals beyond the 25% tax-free threshold are taxable. It’s important to consider all your retirement sources.
-
Do I need a financial adviser for my pension?
While not legally required, having a financial adviser can be highly beneficial for retirement planning. They can assist with transferring, accessing, or investing your pension in the most advantageous way.
