An annuity based on that figure equates to a guaranteed income for life of \u00a3808 per month, increasing with inflation.\u00a0<br class=\"\" \/><br class=\"\" \/>For those earning \u00a313,000 and \u00a356,000, the equivalent retirement pot is \u00a365,300 and \u00a3612,700 respectively, to maintain working age lifestyle.\u00a0<br class=\"\" \/><br class=\"\" \/>The review also highlighted that there are around 12 million people under saving \u2013 life expectancies have grown significantly in recent decades and long-term interest rates, on which annuities are based, are currently extremely low.<br class=\"\" \/><br class=\"\" \/>This study follows the government\u2019s 2017 auto-enrolment review, which concluded that to maintain a lifestyle into retirement, individuals need to aim for a target percentage of income from their pre-retirement years.\u00a0<br class=\"\" \/><br class=\"\" \/>Clearly, the earlier you take steps to put a bit more aside, the better \u2013 and if you are already aware that you have yet to tackle your pension situation, now is a good time to do so. For those already contributing to a workplace pension scheme, perhaps another proactive New Year\u2019s Resolution would be to ask your employer if they\u2019d be prepared to match any increase you make with an increased employer contribution.<br class=\"\" \/><br class=\"\" \/><span class=\"\">Here at The Financial Planning Group, we have specialist software that can test various scenarios so that sensible decisions can be made on how much money is really enough to enable retirement and to make sure that you won\u2019t run out of money at some point in the future.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"\">We are proud of our reputation of providing independent financial advice and solutions to individuals, families, companies, trustees, accountants and solicitors.
