Legal and general included a visual chart in the pension app.

It's not that important really but it's quite nice to see the visual impact of your contributions besides a simple percentage number.

Here's what it looks like


The only thing I would have liked to see changed is little dots on the chart marking where your contributions are, and a line showing your average cost.

    I don't have any skin in this game but to see the visual impact of contributions, my personal preference would be presentation as a stacked bar chart, distinguishing between money paid in and investment growth, i.e. the most recent entry would have one bar of circa £13K for the cumulative contributions to date and another for the £3.4K of investment growth on top of that.

    P.S. This perhaps ought to be posted on the pensions board?

    I think it's great - you couldn't previously see previous values. 

    The growth figure does show overall ££ and %  for current status but not yet for historic data.
