State Pension Optimization
Overview
Deciding when to start the State Pension is one of the most important retirement decisions you'll make. Each year of deferral currently boosts your weekly payment by about 5.8%, but deferring isn't always the best choice. The optimal start age depends on your other income, tax band, life expectancy, and estate goals. Optiml helps you understand the trade-offs and finds the timing that works best for your plan.
