Salary related schemes arrive with complicated calculations so the amount you will get may take some working out. Typically it would be a percentage of your final salary for each year worked. Money purchase schemes are based on contributions you and your employer have made to an investment fund.
Manson Financial Services can help you by checking with the appropriate pension administrator in your organisation to determine the final estimated payout.
There are ways to increase your income. You can increase your contributions in some cases to maximise the benefits. Whatever your age, do not think it is too late.
It is vital to investigate the potential effects of inflation on your pension as your scheme may not be index-linked.
You will need to decide whether to take a certain amount as a lump sum and get a lower pension or defer the payout. There are tax implications to consider and if you belong to a good index-linked scheme it may be best to take a higher pension rather than a lump sum.
If you have changed jobs in the past, check whether you have pensions preserved in former employers' schemes.
