Retirement

The choices you make when you take your pension will affect your lifestyle in retirement. Find out how your pension’s worked out, when you can retire, and your retirement options.

How’s my pension worked out?

Your LGPS pension is based on your pay. Find out how your pension builds up now and how it built up before 1 April 2014.

What will I get?

Check your statement for an estimate of the pension you’ve built up. Or use our calculators to see how much you could get when you retire.

When can I take my pension?

Find out your State Pension age and what happens to your pension if you retire earlier or later.

Ill health

The LGPS protects members by paying their pension straight away if they’re too ill to work at any age.

Flexible retirement

Flexible retirement is a way to move gradually into retirement within the LGPS.

Taking your deferred pension

A deferred pension is a pension you’re no longer paying into and hasn’t been taken yet. Your choices for taking your deferred pension depend on when you left the LGPS.

How do I get my pension?

You need to give your employer plenty of notice to make sure your pension is paid on time.
