A pension pot is the total fund you build up over your working life to provide an income in retirement. It grows through your contributions, your employer's contributions, and investment returns. The earlier you start, the more powerful the effect of compound growth, where your investment returns start earning returns of their own.
This Calculator Site tool helps you project the future value of your pot and see how different contribution levels can impact your final retirement fund. For a detailed look at your monthly budget, you might also find our Take-Home Pay Calculator useful.
Pro Tip: Maximise Employer Contributions
Most employers offer to match your pension contributions up to a certain percentage. This is essentially free money and one of the fastest ways to boost your retirement savings. Always try to contribute enough to get the full employer match; not doing so is like turning down a pay rise.
As you plan for retirement, it is helpful to keep some key UK pension figures in mind. These numbers provide context for your own savings goals. See how your plan compares with our Pension Contribution Calculator.
