Pension lump sums: explained

Taking pension money early isn’t right for everyone because it could leave you with less to live on in retirement. That’s why it makes sense to talk with an independent and regulated adviser, such as Portafina, first. Important: past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. Pensions can go down in value as well as up, so you could get back less than you put in.

Be tax-smart with your pension savings
How much pension money you withdraw early can have a big impact on your tax bill and on the size of your future pot.
Let’s take a look at John and Sarah. Both have a £70,000 pension at age 55 and pay the basic rate of tax. They both need £17,500 to cover a financial situation. Sarah takes just her tax-free cash allowance to achieve this. While John decides to take £40,000, putting the balance in his bank account for a rainy day.
How to manage your lump sums
That’s why it makes sense to have a chat with an independent and regulated financial adviser before making any final decisions about your pension.
