The purpose of this calculator is to give you a general indication of your fund value at an illustrated retirement age (please read the assumptions used) based on your current age and the transfer amount.

This calculator does not constitute personal advice. You are advised to seek independent financial advice.

The figures are a guide only; they are not guaranteed. Your final pension fund, and the income available from it, will depend upon a range of factors. These include, but are not limited to, contributions you make in future, the growth of your fund, charges, inflation, annuity rates and options, and your retirement age.

The value of investments can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you invest.

The calculator does not take account of any tax charges which may apply to contributions into or income from a pension or any tax applicable if your fund exceeds the lifetime allowance at the time of retirement.

This calculator is not appropriate for calculating potential income from a defined benefits scheme.

This calculator does not take into account any benefits from a state pension.

For the purposes of this illustration, the FCA require us to provide you with an indication of your projected pension fund value you may get at your illustrated retirement age at 65. The illustrative value is based on prescribed Mid investment growth rate of 5%, after allowing for all fees and charges.

The projection assumes that you do not draw any income or one-off lump sums from the SIPP. It also assumes the value of your pension fund is within the standard Lifetime Allowance and no LTA tax charge applies.

In addition, we are required to reduce the projected figures to account for inflation. Inflation is the rise in costs of goods and services over time.

This illustration incorporates our fees as per our fee schedule. Fixed monetary fees are assumed to increase each year in line with inflation.

Ongoing Charges Figure (OCF): This illustration incorporates an assumed Ongoing Charges Figure (OCF) 1.00% for the purposes of generating this illustration.

The figures are for illustration purposes only and are not guaranteed. The value of the SIPP depends on how your investments perform after charges and fees.

Consolidation FAQs

What is pension consolidation?

Combining your pensions is known as pension consolidation, and it’s done by transferring multiple pensions between schemes into one arrangement. A prime example of this would be transferring several workplace pensions into a personal pension, so they combine in a single location, making them easier for you to manage. You might be pleased to know that the transfer itself is straightforward; all you need to do is fill in an application and supply details of your old policies.

Is it worth consolidating pensions?

When thinking about consolidating your pensions, it is important to consider the benefits, which include the ability to track all your savings in one place, more choice over where and how you invest your money, and greater flexibility when accessing your pensions.

How to consolidate pensions?

Pension consolidation allows you to combine many individual pension funds into one more significant sum.  After tracking down their old pension pots, many people then choose to consolidate all their past pensions into one easy-to-manage SIPP. With iSIPP you can consolidate your pensions by creating an iSIPP account. Where you can view, manage and invest in your retirement.

How to consolidate pensions from different employers?

Through iSIPP you can consolidate your pensions from different employers into one easily managed SIPP, giving you more control and flexibility regarding your finances. If you want to know more about iSIPP and how we can help you look after your financial future, you can take a look at what we do here.

Contribution FAQs

Can you contribute more than your personal allowance?

Yes. You can contribute more than your allowance as long as you do not exceed your UK earnings. For any contribution above your allowance, a tax charge known as the annual allowance charge will be applied and it will effectively cancel out the tax relief you receive over the allowance.

To understand your current allowance you should also consider any contributions that your employer makes for you, as these also use up your annual allowance.

The ‘Carry Forward’ rule permits individuals to contribute more to their SIPP than the £40,000 annual allowance and still benefit from tax relief, as long as they have any unused allowance in the last three tax years.

In order to use the benefits of the rule, you must have:

  • Been a member of a pension scheme in each tax year from which you carry forward, even if you did not make any contributions.
  • Used up your full annual allowance in the current tax year.
  • Contributed less than £40,000 in one or more of the last three tax years. (This includes personal and employer contributions.)
  • Earnings of at least the amount you are contributing in that tax year, if you are making personal contributions.

What happens if you have income of more than £240,000?

In the instance where your adjusted income is over £240,000, your annual allowance could be as little as £4,000. This means your annual allowance of £40,000 is tapered. Your adjusted income is broadly your total taxable income, plus any pension contributions paid by your employer.
