Retirement planning

Planning to stop work within ten years?

Most people have a date in mind. Very few have tested it. We build a cashflow model for every client on our Core Plus plan and above, and it answers one question well: when does work become optional?

A recent client

Ethan and Claire thought 60. The model said 56.

Both 45, both earning, two pensions, two ISAs and a mortgage they were overpaying. They had settled on working to 60 because it felt about right. We modelled their position to age 100 on conservative assumptions, with a spending target of £5,000 a month.

What we work out for you

What the pot needs to be worth

For work to become optional, worked backwards from your spending rather than a percentage rule.

What happens if markets fall early

We run your plan against real market data going back to 1915 and set spending guardrails, so you know in advance what you would do.

What the tax position looks like at 75

Not only at 60. Which pot you draw on first changes what you keep.

Fixed monthly fees

£200–£500 a month

Four tiers

Whatever the portfolio size.

The value of investments and any income from them can fall and you may get back less than you invested. A pension is a long-term investment not normally accessible until age 55, rising to 57 from April 2028.
