What is a private pension?

A private pension is where you make personal contributions as a way of saving for retirement. This can be in addition to the state pension and a workplace pension. A private pension can give you tax relief on your contributions, allows you to make regular or one-off contributions and gives you a flexible pension. 

You can usually begin to access a private pension from 55 (rising to 57 in 2028), where you can take a tax-free cash sum from your pension pot of up to 25%. The remaining money in your pension continues to be invested, but is also available as flexi-access drawdown, or you can use the remaining money to purchase a pension product like an annuity.

You can learn more about private pensions in our guide and you can also see an estimate of what your pension savings could be worth in retirement with our pension calculator, and the effect your contributions could have on your future.
