Bullough Financial Planning

How much tax will I pay on my pension?

Your pension may be there to fund your retirement – but that doesn’t necessarily mean all the money you take from it will be tax-free.

Usually, you can take up to 25% of your pension tax-free, subject to the applicable limits. The remainder you withdraw will normally count towards your taxable income.

How much tax you actually pay will depend on your total income in that tax year, which could include pension withdrawals, earnings, your State Pension and income from other sources.

That makes how and when you take money from your pension an important part of retirement planning.

Careful planning can help you make your pension withdrawals as tax-efficient as possible while providing the income you need.

Is it better to retire early or keep working?

Retiring early sounds appealing – but is it always the best financial decision?
There’s no single “right” retirement age. The answer depends on your pension savings, other income and investments, expected spending and, importantly, what you actually want your retirement to look like.

Working for even a few additional years can give you more time to contribute to your pension and reduce the number of years your retirement savings need to support you. But if you’re financially secure and ready for a change, retiring earlier may be perfectly achievable.

The key is understanding what each option means for your long-term finances before you make the decision.

A retirement plan can help you compare different scenarios and see what retiring at 60, 65 or another age could look like for you.

Are you dreaming about travelling more when you retire?

For many people, retirement isn't about stopping – it's about finally having the freedom to do more of what they love.

Whether it's exploring Europe by train, taking that once-in-a-lifetime cruise, or simply spending more time visiting family, those dreams deserve a place in your financial planning.

Rather than focusing solely on the size of your pension pot, it's worth asking yourself ‘What kind of retirement do I want to enjoy?’

Once you have that picture in mind, you can begin to build a plan that supports the lifestyle you've worked so hard for and that’s where we can help. Our investment philosophy is built on solid research, deep expertise, and a genuine commitment to your financial success.

Retirement often changes something many of us haven’t had enough of for years:
time.

More freedom.
More flexibility.
More choice about how your days look.
