It is 25% of each pension, though some pensions may offer more than 25% for historic reasons.johno63 said:I have a few pensions with over £100k in and I wish to cash 1 of them in totally £15k ,as thisithis below 25% of my total pot would this be ok or is it up to 25% of each pension.

25% each pension. 25% of the £15K will be tax free, the rest will be taxable at your marginal (highest) rate.0

And do you know about the Money Purchase Annual Allowance?

And remember that if you do this and you are still working, your annual allowance (including employer contributions) will fall to £4000.

As said it's up to 25% of each is tax free, however the bit I've bolded makes no sense. You say you wish to cash it in totally but if it's over £100k then it's more than £15k. Did you mean to put £150k ?johno63 said:I have a few pensions with over £100k in and I wish to cash 1 of them in totally £15k ,as thisithis below 25% of my total pot would this be ok or is it up to 25% of each pension.0
