Layout of the Essential Pensions
guide

The
Essential Pensions guide is divided into four sections all full of
free information and advice and which can be
reached using the menu's on the left hand side of the screen. The
four sections are
Pensions
This section provides an overview
of pensions as a whole. Sometimes the complexity of the pension
system can detract from the true focus of retirement planning. The
key requirement is to save enough money to live off after you finish
work. This section explores this and covers the following topics:
-
what is a pension?
-
why everybody needs to provide
for themselves in retirement
-
how much this might cost
-
why you cannot afford to not have a pension; and
-
how to go about getting hold of one.
This section is an excellent
starting point for considering your retirement plans.
State Pensions
This section describes the different types of pension provided by
the state, how you might qualify for these pensions, how much they
might be and where to get more information about your state
benefits. It also discusses some of the problems with the state
pension.
Company Pensions
Some companies provide pension schemes for their employees. This
section of the guide describes how some of these pension schemes
work, what they might cost in terms of contributions from employees
and how much pension you might expect to get at the end of the day.
Individual Pensions
For those of us who are not lucky enough to have a company
pension scheme, or those wishing to make additional pension savings
then pensions are available to individuals. This section discusses
how these work and what you need to know to get hold of one.
We also have an extensive
glossary full of terms which sometimes get used in the pensions
guide. Enjoy...
