See your biggest levers in pounds
Retire later, a promotion, part-time years, a contribution band or the lump sum: each re-runs your projection and is ranked by what it changes on your numbers.
Put your biggest levers, the earliest retirement age for your target take-home, pay scenarios, the lump sum decision, tax, the State Pension gap, survivor benefits and the McCloud remedy in one workspace for England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. Ask AI about your figures and finish with a briefing you can print or save. £39 once, VAT included, no subscription.
Retire later, a promotion, part-time years, a contribution band or the lump sum: each re-runs your projection and is ranked by what it changes on your numbers.
Set the take-home you need and see the earliest age that delivers it on the pension alone, and once State Pension starts.
Same pay, service and assumptions across five ages with reductions, lump sums and take-home, plus saved plans to compare side by side.
See the tax-free cash, the pension you give up, the age it breaks even, which limit binds and what it does to your partner's pension.
Take-home before and after State Pension age, the pension increase you assume, and the death grant and survivor's pension for England FPS 2015.
Compare your annual benefit statement with the model, ask questions answered from your own figures and print a briefing with a cover page.
Honest scope: this is an independent model, not a scheme quote and not advice. It projects from your inputs and stated assumptions. Your annual benefit statement, remediable service statement and administrator's quotation control the real figures. Start with the free pension calculator; it stays free.
Illustrative planning estimate based on published rules, not financial, legal, pension or tax advice. Your payroll record, contract and scheme administrator control your actual position.
The free calculator answers the first question: what pension am I building? Pension Command answers the decisions that follow. When should I go, at what cost? Does a promotion or a part-time spell change the answer? Should I take the lump sum? How much will I actually take home, and what about the years before the State Pension? What should I ask my administrator about McCloud? Each panel uses the same inputs, so changing your pay or retirement age updates everything at once, and the readiness check and earliest-age solver tell you which change matters most.
The core arithmetic reproduces the published LGA examples: each year adds pensionable pay divided by your nation's accrual figure, and the balance is revalued each 1 April before the new year is added. Nation rules are built in: accrual of 1/59.7 in England, 1/61.4 in Wales, 1/61.6 in Scotland and 1/64.8 in Northern Ireland, normal pension age 55 in Northern Ireland and 60 elsewhere, and each nation's contribution structure. Anything we cannot verify is an editable input with a label, not a hidden constant. Sources are listed on the free calculator page.

No. It is an independent modelling tool using published scheme rules and assumptions you set. Your annual benefit statement, remediable service statement and your administrator's written quote are the official figures and will differ because they use your pay history and service record. The statement reality check helps you see where and why they differ.
England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland for FPS 2015 (each with its own accrual rate, normal pension age and contribution structure), plus FPS 1992 and FPS 2006 legacy slices for England, Wales and Scotland with the double accrual guarantee for FPS 1992. Northern Ireland legacy (2007) service is not modelled. Death benefit figures are verified for England only.
It compares legacy and FPS 2015 pension for the remedy period 1 April 2015 to 31 March 2022 on your assumptions and shows the better option, and it gives you a checklist and a ready-to-send request for your administrator. It does not replace your remediable service statement, which also covers lump sums, contribution adjustments, interest and tax.
England and Wales use the LGA factors from November 2023. Scotland uses Government Actuary's Department factors dated 2019 and is labelled as possibly superseded, so ages before 60 are not offered in the earliest-retirement solver for Scotland. Northern Ireland has a normal pension age of 55, so none applies. The FPS 2006 slice has no verified factor, so you enter the reduction from your quote. Factors change, so confirm with your administrator.
Your inputs, plans and statement figures are kept in this browser. If you use the AI assistant, your figures (not your name or contact details) are sent to it so it can answer. If you save a briefing or plans, they are stored in your account. Analytics record coarse buckets only, never the amounts you type.
You can pay as a guest and start straight away. A free account afterwards keeps your access on every device and lets you save briefings and plans. If you already bought, use Sign in to restore on the unlock card.
