What this site does
Facts with sources
Every figure links to the gov.uk page, ONS release or Act of Parliament it comes from, with the date we checked it. If a number on this site and gov.uk ever disagree, gov.uk wins and we fix it.
Confirmed versus projected
We label everything. confirmed means in force or announced by DWP. legislated means on the statute book. pending means expected but not yet confirmed, like the April 2027 rise.
Find your old pensions
Most people have more than one workplace pension. The free government Pension Tracing Service finds the contact details. Consolidation services can then bring them into one pot, usually for a fee taken from the pot. Compare charges before moving anything, and never transfer a defined benefit pension without regulated advice.
Links to partners will appear here once agreements are in place. Until then: Pension Tracing Service (gov.uk) and check an adviser on the FCA register.
