Annuity is simply an agreement to pay you a state sum per year until you die. It depends on your circumstances, how much you have paid into your pension and how old you are when you retire. In most cases this will be between 65 and 75, and it is compulsory to buy when you reach 75. It is becoming increasingly hard for companies to avoid the final salary pension scheme, which is the only exception to this.
At Pension Calculator, we have taken a look at all of the annuity plans across the market, and picked out the 5 best policies for you based on a purchase price of £10,000.
Although your pension provider may give you what you think is the best deal, you are strongly advised to shop around for your annuity and don’t miss out on better rates elsewhere.
