Civil Service 'Classic' and early retirement (pre 55)

SimonSeys

As @hugheskevi says, it’s worth doing the calculations based on your actual salaries over the years.  In my case (promoted in 2019\20] it’s worth locking in the 10% and 6% CPI uplifts following the Truss administration.  

I also want to live a little in my 50s, so putting £60k pa in Partnership now (including employer contribution) is better for me than 1% a year at 57 or 2.3% at 67.

But YMMV.
