Written by the company
We only have one aim, to give savers direct access to, or allow trustees, employers and providers to provide tools their pension savers need, to improve their retirement outcomes. Put simply, there are plenty of tools which tell pension savers if they take A each year, earn B returns, their pots will last for C years. For almost everyone these offer no practical help, as nearly everyone has other income or savings to put towards retirement. Included in these are State Pensions, Final Salary pensions, ISA savings and part time work for example. Some of these are taxable, some are not. Our tool is the only fully holistic planning tool that can be used directly by individuals without expert input. Our tool answers the one question pension savers actually want answered, "How do I use everything I have, to get the after tax income I want in retirement?". You can visit the Guiide website for much more detail and to try it for yourself.

The best pension planning guide I have come across, easy to use and makes the correct assumptions. Better than any of my ‘expensive’ pension providers.

Great free pension forecasting service…
Great free pension forecasting service which was really easy to use. Only thing I'd like to see to improve would be the ability to manually amend your expected yearly pension withdrawal rather than being restricted to just the 3 available options.

Hi Adam
Thanks for the review
You can overwrite the income wanted, its just a guide you can type over them. If you have already saved a plan just press set all on the chart in the Wants page and you can overwrite the starting income etc.
Thanks

Required alternative option for drawdown
I wanted to do a drawdown for a different amount of years and only gave me the option for life or until 75… no option to change it

Hi
Not sure what you mean we always build you a drawdown plan for life. You can select increases on the income you want up to age 75 (as many people spend less in later years) or for life.
Thanks

Hi Paul
Thanks for the review as per our blogs and an update going out later today, we are working through regulatory requirements to be able to provide additional modelling, however this is taking much longer than expected. As an actuary I can also model life expectancy accurately, but there are regulatory restrictions in providing this outside of advice. We are doing our best within the realm of what is allowed under guidance.
Many thanks
Kevin

Hi John
We want to keep it free for everyone and all features we add be accessible to all.
If that means we need to take a bit more time that's fine - retirement is a long time hopefully!!
Thanks

Thanks for the review. Couples planning will be delivered as soon as regulations permit, which, whilst we are working through we have no control over.

Hi Peter
Many thanks for the review. We cant replace advice as we cant give recommendations, but our tools and education can help those who cant get or don't want advice , and hopefully that can save people lots of money they can use for retirement.

Using Guiide to take some pension pot while working
I used Guiide to determine how much of my pension pot I could take without incurring higher rate tax. As I am building a business and my other income will increase over time. It gave me information in wasn't expecting but I should be aware of and is going to be my go to when I eventually look to retire properly. The ability to add other pots and see the tax implications is rally useful.
