Using civil service added pension calculator (its screwed)

pat1976

Hi, can anyone help me please?

Looking at the CS alpha added pension calculator on their website and the guidance page is blank. 

It asks 'what sort of pension do you want to buy', 'how would you like to pay for your added pension' which look like they require text answers.

I really want to find out how much it would cost me for each additional £1k a year on retirement, by both a lump sum and a monthly contribution.

Thank you

It isn't blank when I look at it. I have put a screenshot at the bottom of this message. Are you opening the calculator with Excel?

It asks 'what sort of pension do you want to buy', 'how would you like to pay for your added pension' which look like they require text answers.

There are dropdown options on the relevant input cell.

For "what sort of pension do you want to buy" you have to choose either 'Self' or 'Self and dependents' depending on whether you want survivor benefits or not.

For "how would you like to pay for your added pension"  you have the option of either 'Lump Sum' or 'Monthly'

Thank you. 
I'm using that new wierd office 365 excel, that is probably why. I'll use a different computer.

Perhaps the problem might be no macros. Are you using W10 or something like Android?
