Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 219 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers praise the user experience, finding the tool incredibly valuable, simple, and intuitive for retirement planning. Many highlight the product's comprehensive nature, its ability to integrate various financial elements, and the clear, jargon-free results it provides. People appreciate the website's ease of use and the excellent value for money, especially considering it's a free service. However, some customers also noted limitations, particularly the lack of a dedicated feature for couples to plan together, requiring separate accounts. A few users desired more detailed analytical options, the ability to manually adjust yearly pension withdrawals, or more specific tax band selections.

Written by the company

We only have one aim, to give savers direct access to, or allow trustees, employers and providers to provide tools their pension savers need, to improve their retirement outcomes. Put simply, there are plenty of tools which tell pension savers if they take A each year, earn B returns, their pots will last for C years. For almost everyone these offer no practical help, as nearly everyone has other income or savings to put towards retirement. Included in these are State Pensions, Final Salary pensions, ISA savings and part time work for example. Some of these are taxable, some are not. Our tool is the only fully holistic planning tool that can be used directly by individuals without expert input. Our tool answers the one question pension savers actually want answered, "How do I use everything I have, to get the after tax income I want in retirement?". You can visit the Guiide website for much more detail and to try it for yourself.

Excellent pension planning tool.

Very useful for getting a fairly detailed estimate of how your pension finances might work. Allows lots of different permutations to be tried and I do like the stress test feature and the ability to apply suggested fixes to the plan.

A very good pension app

A very good app for planning my pension when even my provider couldn't give me an accurate outlook, now I know that I can hang up my gloves a couple of years sooner.

Hi Chris

Thanks for the review.

Yes the amount of support most providers give is very lacking, that's why people come to us I suppose.

Some providers license branded versions of our journey, hopefully more will in future.

Thanks again

great retirement tool

this site is a really good way to explore how to retire un the UK and when. Great first step to determine what you can do before you discuss with a financial advisor. If you're planning to plan soon then I'd recommend this site a first stop.

Hi

I know its taking a long time, but it is literally out of our hands. We need to make sure we do not cross any regulatory boundary if we are able to continue to provide updated features.

That has meant making some changes to the existing journey, testing user understanding, updating post testing, legal reviews etc

This has taken up over a year of time so far.

Our two last blogs explain the issues in more detail.

Thanks

It does help to know your figures before running a forecast. If you can be as accurate as possible with your input it will give you a more accurate view of how your plans are performing

This company does not force you to give your personal information unless you want to. It provided me with most of the information I wanted to know. Very simple to use. Allows what if scenarios.

Hi Hussain

Many thanks for the review, yes only leave an email at the end if you want to save your plan so there is no need to reinput everything.

We send the odd email about updates, topical issues, products that may be of interest etc that's all.

Thanks again
