You might be happy with a more modest lifestyle or want something a bit more extravagant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-much-retirement-income-could-1m-provide\">How much retirement income could \u00a31m provide?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our analysis shows a 66-year-old retiring with a \u00a31m pension fund who opts for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-uk\/insights\/avoid-biggest-retirement-income-pitfalls\" class=\"link-underline\">income drawdown<\/a> could draw gross income of just \u00a363,000 a year until age 86, or around \u00a350,000 a year until age 95. This assumes annual investment growth of 5% after fees and that the income increases annually with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-uk\/insights\/how-to-manage-inflation-in-retirement\" class=\"link-underline\">inflation<\/a> (at 2%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bear in mind that the average life expectancy for a 66-year-old woman is 88 years, but there\u2019s a one in four chance of living to 94 and a one in ten chance of living to 98<sup>2<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re worried about running out of money, another option could be to buy an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-uk\/insights\/now-good-time-buy-annuity\" class=\"link-underline\">annuity<\/a> rather than use income drawdown. Lifetime annuities pay a guaranteed income regardless of how long you live for. Currently, someone who buys an annuity at age 66 could expect gross annual retirement income of up to \u00a367,000 a year from a \u00a31m pension fund<sup>3<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-my-pension-big-enough\">Is my pension big enough?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How much you really need to save for retirement depends on a whole host of factors, including what you plan to do in retirement, when you intend to retire, your life expectancy, inflation and investment growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than relying on average figures, a better approach is to speak to a financial adviser. By understanding you and your plans for the future, they\u2019ll be able to give you a more fully informed view of how much your retirement is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-uk\/insights\/when-can-i-afford-retire\">likely to cost<\/a>\u00a0and, in turn, how much you need to save. By speaking to an financial adviser early on, you\u2019ll have a better chance of making up any shortfall in your savings.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A financial adviser will also look at where else you could draw retirement income from. The state pension, ISAs and savings accounts can all help to take the pressure off your pension pot. Taking income from different sources could also prove\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-uk\/insights\/four-steps-to-tax-efficient-retirement-income\">more tax efficient<\/a>. For example, you can draw money from ISAs without paying tax, whereas pension withdrawals that exceed your tax-free lump sum are taxed at your marginal rate of income tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-next-steps\">Next steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How much you really need to save for retirement is a complex calculation, and that\u2019s where getting some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-uk\/private-clients\/our-services\/financial-planning-and-advice\" class=\"link-underline\">financial advice<\/a> comes in. A financial adviser can demonstrate how much you\u2019re likely to need, whether you\u2019re on track to achieve that sum, and the steps you can take now to increase your chances of achieving the retirement you desire.
