That's great thanks for all the fantastic answers. To be honest it's a bit of a minefield.molerat said:All good then.The reason you were asked the probing questions is that many see that number at the top of the forecast and think that is what they will get and don't read the other 2 numbers below which clarify.

I've got a related question on retiring early.
If I retire before my state pension age and take an actuarily reduced work pension, will I pay NI contributions on my work pension income?
I've read that you stop paying NI when you reach state pension age, but I am aiming to retire at 60 and my state pension age is 67.

there is no NI at all on pension income.
what I think you read is that you stop paying NI on earned income at SPA.0 -
Which is changing in the 23-24 tax year with the 1.25% levy (not full NI) being payable on earned income above the PT post SP age.lisyloo said:

Thank you for explaining. I too had misunderstood this.Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

3) Mortgage neutral by 06/30 (AVC £36.2K + Lump Sums DB £4.6K + (25% of SIPP 1.3K) = 42.1£127.5K target 33% 27/2/26 (If took bigger lump sum = 64K or 50.1%)
