    I currently assume no real growth, in other words, the pot grows to match inflation and its value is maintained.

    I find the various pension calculators confusing when it comes to growth rates. So if the assumed inflation rate is 2% and the growth rate is 5%, is the real growth rate 3% (less a % for fees) applied to the pot?
    Yes, simple as that.
    Normally a cautious but realistic approach would be to work on 1% or 2 % real growth.
