The example below gives you an idea of the income our pension drawdown product might provide. It assumes you take the maximum 25% tax-free cash sum available but you can choose to take less. The result is an example only and is not advice. The actual income you can get will depend on your individual circumstances.
Flexible income you can take when you want, it's not guaranteed
Personal Pension Drawdown
- You decide the amount of income and when it’s paid
- The value of your pension can go up or down and you could get back less than you paid in
- Income isn't guaranteed, you could run out of money
The 'Annual income' figure shows the amount before any tax has been deducted. You can change it using the drop-down – the more you take, the less time your money will last. You can see the effect of three different rates of return on the size of your pot by using the 'Investment return' drop-down.
Guaranteed income for the rest of your life
Pension Annuity
- Can pay higher income for health conditions and lifestyle risks.
- Can provide an income for your spouse, civil partner or beneficiary after you die.
- Can’t change your options once the plan has started.
The figure above shows the gross income before any tax is deducted.

Your current pension provider will probably have a drawdown option available, but you don't have to use the same provider for drawdown as you used for your pension savings. Once you've used our Pension Drawdown calculator, take a look at our drawdown option and see if it could be right for you.
