Important things to do
 

Combining your pensions

Combining your pensions

It's worth considering if combining your pensions is right for you, as it could make your pension savings easier to manage.

This guide describes the potential benefits of transferring existing benefits to your retirement account and highlights some of the things to consider. Based on your plan:
 

  • You can transfer only if you’re still employed by the employer who set up your retirement account and you’re making regular payments
  • Your plan doesn't allow transfers in from pension plans with safeguarded benefits.

If you decide to transfer please complete the form at the end of the guide.

Tracing your pensions

Tracing your pensions

People can build up multiple pension pots over their working life and often lose track of where all their pension savings are held. The Government’s pension tracing service can help you track down previous pensions from different pension providers.

Understand the State Pension

Understand the State Pension

You may also be entitled to the State Pension. This is separate from your workplace pension. It’s a regular payment from the Government most people can claim when they reach State Pension age in their late 60s.
 

  • The full State Pension from 6th April 2025 is £230.25 per week (£11,973 per annum).
  • Not everyone gets the same amount. Most people will need to have 35 qualifying years of National Insurance credits or contributions to get the full amount. 

You can check your State Pension forecast on the Government's site.
