The ‘Plan it’ tool is a fun and interactive way
of getting you to think about the sort of
expenditure you may have when you give up
work and take a well-earned retirement.
Simply enter the amounts you think you are
likely to spend in retirement and the tool will
automatically work out the sort of pension
you may need to meet these costs.

I use the pension modelling tools once a year.
The ‘Plan it’ tool helps you to think about
what you might need in a more structured way. Of course you need to review things
regularly because costs of living/circumstances change. For example energy costs (running
a car, lighting and heating) are becoming an increasingly large proportion of spending.
If you use ‘Plan it’ in conjunction with the pension modelling tools you can decide what
extra you need to contribute. For people mid-career it’s really important. I did upset myself
realising I didn’t have enough of a pension and it made me realise how good the BAT Fund
is. When I think about what I could have received had I joined a great pension scheme
when I left school… It just makes me wish I had started working for BAT earlier! However,
to improve your pension you don’t have to pay AVCs through the BAT Fund, you could
contribute through a personal pension or a SIPP (self investment pension plan), so long as
you get your money to work for you. Sadly, these days, if you just keep money in a savings
account you are losing money in real terms as the return isn’t even keeping up with inflation.
Andrew Brock, DB member
This sort of tool sounds really good
and I intend to use it, but it doesn’t just sound helpful
for members closer to retirement. I left the Fund more than 25 years ago when I was 30 and
paying AVCs hadn’t occurred to me at that stage in life, but I wish I had as the earlier you start
paying, the smaller any gap between your ideal income and the income you are going to get.
