Understanding Retirement Savings: Navigating Pensions and ISAs

Your pension should be your top priority this year. Tom McPhail, pensions expert at The Lang Cat and former Head of Policy at Hargreaves Lansdown, explains how to calculate what you’ll need to retire, whether you can count on a state pension, and maximise returns without extra contributions. This is what we think you need to get your pension sorted out.

This is not financial advice. The reason it’s not financial advice is because it’s not tailored to you. We explain the principles of building wealth but if you want personalised advice, it’s worth speaking to a financial advisor. As with everything financial, please do your own research. We really encourage that because no one cares more about your money than you and if you learn the basics then it will change your life.
