Your Questions, Answered

  • NHS pension projection is the process of analysing your pension and projecting its future value based on a range of inputs and assumptions. It’s a powerful tool for NHS professionals who want to understand how their pension may develop over time and how different career or retirement choices could affect their outcome.

    There are several key benefits to this approach:

    Clear future insight
    You can see how your pension may look under different scenarios—such as varying retirement ages, changes in working patterns, or career progression. This helps you make more informed decisions about your future.

    Understanding key drivers
    By analysing factors such as salary growth, pension rules, and legislative changes, you can understand what is driving your pension outcomes. This allows you to plan ahead and avoid unexpected issues, including unnecessary tax charges.

    Better planning and decision-making
    Detailed projections help identify gaps or risks in your pension position, enabling you and your advisers to take action where needed to ensure a sustainable retirement income.

    Review of historic records
    By assessing past pension data and calculations, we can help identify inconsistencies or anomalies in service history that may impact your overall benefits.

    Overall, NHS pension projection and scenario analysis provide a clearer understanding of both your future pension value and the impact of complex factors such as the McCloud remedy, Annual Allowance, and Lifetime Allowance.

    At Your NHS Pension, we project your benefits to your chosen retirement date, taking into account Annual Allowance, Scheme Pays, Lifetime Allowance considerations, the McCloud remedy, and Annual Allowance reassessments.

    We can also analyse a wide range of scenarios—such as changes in working hours, career progression, or decisions like salary sacrifice (for example, lease car schemes)—so you can fully understand the impact of your choices.

  • We aim to turnaround your report in 4-6 weeks, occasionally due to circumstances out of our control this may take longer, we will inform you if this is likely to be the case

  • We analyse the impact of the McCloud remedy by reflecting the rollback of benefits accrued between 2015 and 2022 into your legacy 1995/2008 pension scheme. We then recalculate your Annual Allowance position for the remedy period and compare this against your originally assessed position.

    We also provide a clear comparison of your projected retirement benefits under each option showing the difference between retaining these benefits in the 2015 scheme or reverting them to the 1995/2008 scheme so you can fully understand the implications before making a decision.
