Frequently asked questions
-
What is a private pension?
-
A private pension, or personal pension, is a type of pension you set up and manage yourself to save for retirement. You can have a private pension alongside, or instead of, an employer's workplace pension.
-
How do private pensions work?
-
Private pensions work in a similar way to workplace pensions, but you're personally responsible for making contributions rather than your employer. You can make regular monthly payments or one-off contributions. Personal pensions are popular with self-employed people, but anyone can have one. Some employers will even agree to contribute to a private pension you've set up.
-
Do you pay tax on income from a private pension?
-
Yes, like any pension income, you'll be taxed on withdrawals. Depending on your drawdown option, the initial 25% is generally tax-free.
-
What age can you start taking an income from a private pension?
-
As of 2025, you can currently start making withdrawals from your pension from age 55, but this is set to increase to 57 from April 2028. Anyone claiming they can help you access your pension early is likely attempting to scam you, so be cautious of any suspicious promises.
