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.

Useful tool that saves a lot of spreadsheet work but remember it’s a tool for guidance purposes only.

Retirement planning calculator

It’s a great tool for looking at different scenarios that relate to the annual amount of pension that’s achievable with current funds. So glad this website was recommended to me.

Really easy to use and results are helpful for planning

Really easy to use and the results were helpful (and reassuring) for my research and planning how to use my pension pots in the run up to my retirement in a few months' time.

Very useful retirement planner

I was recommended Guiide by someone on a Facebook page about retirement planning. Of all the retirement planning tools I have used, this one was by far the most comprehensive. Simple to enter the data, and simple to edit too. It also allows countless 'what if' scenarios.

I would recommend to anyone that wants to start retirement planning. It's never too early to start.

Useful for single people, look forward to joint analysis being added

Simple to use and produces useful graphs and resilience tests but for me I need the household joint analysis so I'll try it again when that functionality is added.

Hi Russell

Many thanks for the review, please see our latest blog for an explanation of the delays in the couples planning which is a bit out of control at the moment.

The Pension calculator is easy to use

The Pension calculator is simple to use and flexible for many circumstances. The bit missing is the couples view , which I believe you are developing

Hi Kevin

Many thanks for the review, yes the fact we don't have the couples part in yet is frustrating but we are working to get it resolved (compliance issues around staying on the right side of guidance that we need to get over).

Thanks again
