    OK,

    Last question before my meeting next week with a IFA.

    So I don't get the wrong idea about what I am looking at with these calculaters. Am I correct to think the Value of a pension shown on the summary statement from my pension provider is the value I use, to find an idea of what various companies can offer with the various options ie: No guarantee, 5year-guarantee, 10year-guarantee, individual and joint etc.

    thanks

    Yes (probably), less any tax free cash you want to take (up to 25%).

    Just have a quick read through the paperwork and check there are no penalties.

    You are looking for a figure which says 'transfer value' or 'open market option'.

    Hope that helps.
