I've just turned 30 and since starting working since the age of 18 i'd like to know how much money i have saved for my pension from 3 different job roles, If this is possible? i worked in retail for 13 years and then moved on.

Are you not getting any annual statements?
What type of pension do you have?
It might be defined as a % of your final salary rather than being an amount you've saved.0 -
I know what i'm currently getting within my current employer but not my last two0

Then contact them0

Did you stay in any of the previous two jobs (or at least in their pension schemes) for less than two years? If so you may not have a deferred pension from that one but may have been paid back your contributions less tax and NI.0

Are you sure you were in pension schemes in your last two jobs? Auto-enrolment is fairly recent, especially for smaller firms.
Have you changed address since you left those two jobs? If so, you need to ensure the relevant parties (i.e. pension providers) have your current contact details.Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!0 -

There are ways to trace lost pensions: https://www.pensionsadvisoryservice.org.uk/pension-problems/making-a-complaint/common-concerns/lost-pensionsThus the old Gentleman ended his Harangue.

If your pension is the type that invests in investment funds then you should be getting at least an annual statement. If yours is defined benefit pension (based on years of service) then you do not get an annual statement. You get one after you leave and that is it. You should keep these documents safe.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only.

Although I understand for a deferred DB pension you can request a statement each year (and it has to be sent within 2 months of request).0

For my deferred DB scheme , I do not get a statement as such . Like Dunston said I just have a statement when I left the company of what the pension was worth at the time, and that it would increase by RPI /5%, whichever was the least . So to calculate the current values I have to calculate it myself based on recent RPI data.
What I do get annually is an update on how the fund is performing , how much the company is topping it up etc but that does not relate directly to my own pension value.0
