Pension free calculators

Hi all,I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any good free on line pension calculators.

The sort of thing im after would have inputs for current age, retirement age, pension pot value expected annual return on investment, draw down rate. An annual drawdown increase percentage input would also be handy. The idea is to project when or if the pot would run out by GAD projected death ,or at what age it would run out. Thanks
Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    I can see many different calculators on the Aviva website, but not one that looks at all the variables when actually taking pensions etc.
    Can you send a link please, or do you have to be an Aviva customer ?

    I think that is perhaps a bit  basic ( similar to the Standard Life one) for what some people are looking for.

    You can vary the contributions, growth and retirement date to predict the pot size.  You can also alter the income level and TFLS amount for the income in retirement calculation.  If you want anything much more complex than that then maybe a spreadsheet would be the way to go.  

    What additional features are you looking for?

    I stuck my details in out of curiosity. What I couldn't see a way to do was to have different start dates for the different pensions. It started them all on the same day when I would have liked the DB one to have come in later.
