UK pension data publisher

public-source pension reference material

Background

PlainPension publishes sourced reference material about UK State Pension rates, HMRC pension tax rules, MoneyHelper guidance, and FCA pension-provider regulation. Its pages link to the originating public source and state the assumptions and limitations of any calculation.

How to use this site

PlainPension publishes reference material, data-driven pages, and explanatory tools. Use the source information, assumptions, limitations, and methodology shown on the individual page to decide whether it fits your situation.

Published information can summarize source data or provide an estimate; it is not professional financial, medical, legal, or engineering advice. For an important decision, compare the relevant page with a primary source or a qualified professional.

How information is presented

Pages that present data or estimates identify the available source, method, and material limitations. Results can differ from real-world outcomes because inputs, rules, rates, rounding, data coverage, and individual circumstances vary.

The methodology page explains the site-level approach and limitations. Check the source information on the page you are using rather than treating site-wide wording as a substitute for the current source.

Feedback

If you find an error, stale figure, or missing context on any page we publish, please use the contact page or write to hello@plainpension.co.uk with the URL and the issue.
