How much income do you think you’ll need in retirement?

Our ‘Retirement Living Standards’ tool helps you understand how much you’ll need to live on in retirement.
Based on the retirement living standards from the Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association (PLSA), it helps you work out what your retirement might cost based on three lifestyles and allows you to tailor your living costs to your own needs.

Can you afford for your pension pot to go down in value?

How often will you review your investment choices?
Please note Legal & General cannot provide financial advice. If you want help to make your own investment choices, you should speak to a financial adviser. You can find one in your local area at unbiased.co.uk. Financial advisers usually charge a fee for their services, but it will be personal to you and your circumstances.
We can offer you a way of paying your adviser directly from your pension pot, this is called a facilitated adviser charge. The Facilitated adviser charge guide explains how this works.
