PENSIONS

Add money to your SIPP Transfer a pension

Important information - A pension is meant for your retirement, so you can’t
normally access your money until you’re 55 (57 from 2028). Pension and tax rules
can change and tax relief depends on your circumstances. This information is not
personal advice. Investments go down in value as well as up so you could get
back less than you invest. If you’re not sure which investments are right for
you, we can put you in touch with one of our financial advisers.


WHAT IS A PENSION?

A pension is a long-term investment plan that you (and often your employer) pay
into for later life.

It's there to help provide you with an income to live off when you retire or
decide to work less. It also offers favourable tax treatment compared to some
other ways of saving.

Learn more about pension basics


KNOW YOUR PENSION

Your pension is there to help you make the most of your retirement. The better
you know your pension, the more confident you'll be that you're saving enough
for your future.

Our checklist can help you with ways to be on top of your pension, it's full of
easy-to-use online tools and calculators.

COMBINING YOUR PENSIONS

It’s important that you’re in control of your pension savings - particularly as
you approach retirement. Depending on your needs and the kind of pension you
have, it could make sense to consolidate and transfer to one easy-to-manage
account, like your HL SIPP.

HOW MUCH SHOULD I PAY INTO MY PENSION?

If you're a UK resident under 75, you can usually pay in as much as you earn, up
to £60,000 a year, and get tax relief. You may be able to pay in more than
£60,000 if you have unused allowance from previous years.

If you don't have any earnings, you can still pay in up to £3,600 a year and
receive tax relief.

Remember, tax rules change and benefits depend on individual circumstances.
