Retirement can be fulfilling for many people, with more time available for family, friends, and leisure. Make the most of it by ensuring you are financially secure for your later years; there is much you can do to plan ahead.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve put together a few tips to get you started.<\/p>\n

Calculate your pension income<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The first step is to get a State Pension Statement<\/a>, which should tell you how much State Pension you\u2019ll get when you retire, based on your National Insurance record.<\/p>\n

Then you\u2019ll need to add the pensions you have built up during your working life. Almost everyone has had a number of jobs these days, so that may mean more than one pension pot.<\/p>\n

If some of your paperwork has gone astray, and you think you are entitled to more pensions, the UK Government has a service you can use to track it down<\/a>. The Pensions Advisory Service<\/a> may also be able to help.<\/p>\n

Work out your savings<\/h2>\n

You\u2019ll also need to work out how much savings you have. Check your bank statements, and any building society accounts. If you have ISAs (Individual Savings Accounts), shares or other financial assets, get a snapshot of their valuation and if any are due to mature or expire by a particular date, keep a note of this.<\/p>\n

If you have a mortgage, find out when it is due to be paid off, as that will free up some money. It may make sense to pay it off early, if you can afford to, or if there are no heavy penalties.<\/p>\n

For both pensions and savings, jot down the total value, and how much income they will produce.<\/p>\n

Prepare a budget<\/h2>\n

Once you have collected the figures for your likely retirement income, it\u2019s time to work out how far your money will go. As a retired person, you\u2019ll have no more commuting costs, but there will be plenty of expenses left to deal with, so estimate how much money you will need from month to month.<\/p>\n

Make a note of your regular outgoings, starting with essentials like rent or mortgage payments, utility bills, insurance, food, and your car, if you have one. Work out what you spend on holidays, hobbies, grandchildren and pets. Add some extra for a rainy day, in case of unexpected household repairs or illness.<\/p>\n

Clear any debts<\/h2>\n

If you have debts, your pension will stretch that much further if you are able to clear them. Some debt, including credit cards and payday loans, can be very expensive. Even if you can\u2019t clear it, you may be able to consolidate it into one loan so it\u2019s more manageable. Make sure you get good professional advice before committing to anything.<\/p>\n

When to retire<\/h2>\n

Once you\u2019ve done your sums, you can start thinking of when to retire. Do you want to retire early \u2013 and can you afford to? Or would you prefer to work a bit longer, and have a larger pension when the time comes? If you are delaying your retirement, it\u2019s usually worth contributing more into your pension fund, and this may be matched by your employer. Talk this through with your pensions advisor.<\/p>\n

You should also discuss your potential investment options with a financial planner, especially if you are withdrawing a lump sum or buying an annuity, which is a way of putting all your pension pots into one, to get an income for life.<\/p>\n

Keep your paperwork up to date<\/h2>\n

Have you reviewed your pension paperwork recently? It is extremely important that you review your pension policies regularly to ensure that, in the event of your death, the lump sum will be inherited, tax free, by the loved one that you have decided to nominate.<\/p>\n

It would also make sense to check your life insurance policies, and your will at the same time, so everything is in order and to give you peace of mind. This is usually called a Beneficiary Nomination Form or Expression of Wish form.<\/p>\n
