THE QUESTIONS / ANSWERED

Before you talk to an adviser.

How can I check that a financial adviser is regulated?
Look up the adviser or firm on the FCA Financial Services Register. Check that the firm's permissions cover the services you need, and verify contact details independently.
What's the difference between independent and restricted advice?
Independent and restricted advisers can have different ranges of products and providers they consider. Ask the adviser to explain their status, what they can recommend and any limitations before you engage them.
Is an initial conversation free?
Some firms offer a free initial meeting; others may charge. Ask for the full fee schedule, any minimum investment requirement, and whether ongoing advice fees apply before committing.
Does The Money Field give financial advice?
No. Our articles and tools provide general financial education. We do not assess personal suitability or recommend specific financial products. Any future regulated advice will be given by appropriately authorised professionals, not by The Money Field.
Will you share my information with an adviser?
Not through this preview. No answers are transmitted or stored remotely. If a live introduction service is launched, you will see the participating adviser details, privacy information and a deliberate permission step before any information is shared.
How would The Money Field make money from introductions?
We may receive fees from participating advice firms for introductions or other services. Any live arrangement and relevant commercial relationships will be clearly disclosed. This service has not launched yet.

THE MONEY FIELD / FREE INTERACTIVE TOOL

Your money. Year by year.

Start with your pension and savings today. See how they could grow until retirement, then explore whether those assets and retirement income could cover future spending.

YOUR FUTURE / VISUALISED

Less guesswork.
More perspective.
01 / BUILD YOUR SCENARIO

Your starting point

Before retirement, the model uses only your current pension and savings balances plus contributions and assumed growth. It does not assess working-year income or spending. Retirement spending is entered in today's money and inflated forward.

03 / TAKE IT WITH YOU

Your personalised scenario report.

Includes projected assets at retirement, retirement-only funding bars, annual figures and the assumptions used.

Important: Educational illustration, not financial advice or a retirement-readiness assessment. Assumes constant returns, no market volatility, no UK income or pension tax calculations, no investment fees beyond your selected net growth assumption, and no detailed pension rules or individual entitlements. A green retirement year is not a guarantee. Pre-retirement modelling assumes contributions and investment growth only, not salary surpluses or working-year withdrawals. Pension withdrawals are simplified and permitted in this model from retirement age 57 or later; real access depends on applicable rules and individual circumstances.
