Pension Calculator

Use the value of your standard benefits to calculate the amounts in your maximum lump sum package. When you decide to take payment of your pension benefits you will have the option to exchange some of your annual pension for a tax free lump sum. If you know the value of your standard pension benefits, you can use this modeller to give you an idea of your maximum lump sum, under HMRC rules.
