Pension Pots

I'm trying to figure out how much might be in my "pot" when I retire, but every calculator doesn't take account of the fact that every year, I increase my contributions by 4%. Is there a calculator that does?

    Have a look at retireeasy.com - you can put in amount today and timeframe for adding to it, the monthly / annual contributions, and an increase p/a %'age.

    If you are any younger than 35? or so, you'll find retireeasy won't suit your needs.

    I shall have a look at retireeasy. I am 35 exactly, so not sure if it will help me or not.

    EDITED: I had a look. Couldn't see anywhere there was a calculator though. Must have been looking in the wrong section?

    Pollana24 it's not a calculator exactly. You enter details of a pension in that section of Retireeasy and it asks for your estimated growth rates and further contribution levels. It then projects year on year with any other investment details your provide.

    I was born in 1983, their menus only started at 1986 or so, meaning that I couldn't accurately use their tools. Contacted them and was told (paraphrasing) that their service wasn't designed for people of my age group!
