Company details
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.

Useful for single people, look forward to joint analysis being added
Simple to use and produces useful graphs and resilience tests but for me I need the household joint analysis so I'll try it again when that functionality is added.

Hi Russell
Many thanks for the review, please see our latest blog for an explanation of the delays in the couples planning which is a bit out of control at the moment.
Thanks again

The Pension calculator is easy to use
The Pension calculator is simple to use and flexible for many circumstances. The bit missing is the couples view , which I believe you are developing

Hi Kevin
Many thanks for the review, yes the fact we don't have the couples part in yet is frustrating but we are working to get it resolved (compliance issues around staying on the right side of guidance that we need to get over).
Thanks again

Outstanding
An outstanding tool that is easy to use and understand with clear inputs and outputs. Just waiting for the capability to combine partners income into calculations (coming soon I believe).
HIGHLY recommended

Hi Jack
Many thanks for the review. Yes few compliance and legal things to get over as soon as we do the partners modelling will be there.
Thanks again

Straightforward planning
Easy to get a retirement plan, but several limitations (at the moment) mean that it doesn’t cover all situations, but I believe Guiide will improve over time. I like how it gives a different scenarios rather than “this will definitely happen”.

Great platform, but not if you want to use a protected pension age and retire before 55
Sadly you don't allow a retirement age under 55. Plenty of people have a protected pension age of 50 (I know I'm one lol) and would like to access their pension long before 55 (or 57 as it will soon be)

Hi Darren
Many thanks for the review. Think its the first time I have had one starting Great Platform but 1 star.
Lets look at the issue you raise. I am not sure if there are any online retirement calculators that offer a pension pot withdrawals from age 50 or access to a final salary scheme from age 50. Although it is possible for those in certain occupational schemes before 2006 as you say.
I imagine the reason for this (like our own) is because it may lead others in the general public without this protection to use it incorrectly and therefore get misleading information.
As you say, others in these schemes may have the same issue. In an ideal world the scheme (or their trustees) would recognise this and provide a tool like ours but with this customisation for their members.
If this is not the case for your scheme, we would be more than happy to discuss licensing a customised version to them with this protected age element. If they wish to support their members with this protection better they may wish to provide this.
Please let me know of the scheme in question or feel free to forward this offer onto them.
Many thanks
Kevin
