What is this feature?

Withdrawal Optimizer

Your withdrawal strategy is not something you design yourself. It is something Optiml builds for you, based on the financial planning strategy you select and the desired after-tax income you set in your profile. Optiml does not ask you how much to withdraw or from which accounts. That is guesswork. Instead, it uses the math of your full financial picture to determine exactly what to withdraw, from where, and when, for every single year of your plan.

Your strategy drives your withdrawals.

The financial planning strategy you select determines how Optiml prioritises your accounts. Change your strategy and your entire withdrawal plan changes with it.

Optiml does the math. You set the goal.

Tell Optiml the after-tax income you need each year. It builds the full withdrawal plan around that number, across every account you hold, for every year of your plan.

Your withdrawal strategy is inseparable from the financial planning strategy you choose. If you have not yet explored the strategies Optiml offers, that is the best place to start.

How It Works

The math behind your withdrawal strategy

Optiml does not follow generic rules like always drawing from your pension first, or always preserving your ISA. It builds a year-by-year withdrawal plan that is specific to your accounts, your goals, and the strategy you are running. Two people with identical balances but different strategies will receive completely different withdrawal plans, because the objective behind each plan is different.

Your desired after-tax income is the starting point

You set your desired after-tax income in your profile. That number becomes the non-negotiable foundation of your plan. Optiml builds a withdrawal strategy that delivers that exact amount each and every year, without you having to figure out the how.

Strategy-driven, not rule-driven

Generic advice like drawing from your SIPP first ignores your actual goals. The strategy you select tells Optiml what matters most, and the withdrawal plan is built around that objective, not a one-size-fits-all rule of thumb.

Every account, every year, fully mapped

Optiml does not hand you a general direction. It shows you the exact amount to withdraw from each account, for every single year of your plan, coordinated around your State Pension start age, Lump Sum Allowance, and tax bands.

Your personalised Action Plan

Your financial plan shows all the moving parts across every year. To cut through the noise, Optiml generates a dedicated Action Plan that shows you exactly how much to withdraw, from which account, and when, for every year of your retirement. The plan doesn't come to life until those actions are put into place.

Strategy Comparison

Same income. Two completely different withdrawal strategies.

Both strategies below deliver the exact same after-tax income each year. The amount is identical. But the withdrawal sequence, account prioritisation, and long-term outcome look completely different. That is the power of a strategy-driven withdrawal plan.

Maximize After-Tax Estate

Secure your desired income, then maximise what your family receives after all taxes are settled.

SIPP

Drawn down strategically with Lump Sum Allowance used early to manage IHT exposure

GIA

Drawn carefully to avoid a large capital gains event

ISA

Left untouched as long as possible to preserve estate value

Outcome

Highest possible after-tax estate for your beneficiaries.

Minimize Lifetime Taxes

Secure your desired income, then ensure you pay the least amount of tax over your entire retirement.

SIPP

Drawn to smooth income and avoid pushing into the 40% band

GIA

Used alongside other accounts to manage capital gains and dividend allowances

ISA

Drawn earlier to top up income tax-free and keep marginal rates low

Outcome

Lowest possible lifetime tax bill across your full retirement.

Both strategies deliver your exact desired after-tax income every year. The withdrawal path to get there is what changes.
