A report by Royal London (available here) suggested that the average person would need a pension pot, or savings, of £260,000 at retirement to allow them to maintain their standard of living.

This figure rises to £445,000 if you do not own your own home.

This report is based on the average UK salary, of £26,718[1], and the rule of thumb that you need 2/3rds of your salary to maintain your standard of living in retirement.

While this is an invaluable starting point, there is no such thing as the average person, we are all unique with our own needs, wants, goals and objectives.

We believe that planning is the key to achieving your goals and will build you a robust, reviewable plan that adapts as you move through life and allows you to live the life you want on your terms.
