Important information

Disclaimer and modelling limitations

Please read this before relying on a Pension Planner result.

Pension Planner is not regulated financial advice. It is a what-if modelling and decision-support tool.

No forecast is a promise

Investment returns, inflation, longevity, spending, tax law and pension rules are uncertain. Results describe outcomes generated by the assumptions entered, not guarantees.

Tax modelling is simplified

Pension Planner models selected UK retirement-tax concepts for planning purposes and is not a complete tax-return engine.

GIA calculations are planning approximations

GIA modelling uses an account-level pooled acquisition cost and annual planning assumptions. It does not model individual security lots, exact same-day/30-day matching, full loss carry-forward or exact transaction sequencing.

Rental-property calculations are simplified

The gross-rent-minus-expenses option does not calculate residential finance-cost relief, carry forward property losses or determine whether every entered expense is tax allowable.

Investment risk

Monte Carlo uses a simplified statistical model; real markets may behave differently.

Professional advice

Before material pension, investment or tax action, check current rules and seek suitably authorised professional advice where appropriate.
