Methodology
This report uses Monte Carlo simulation to model 5,000 independent retirement scenarios. Each simulation draws annual investment returns from a log-normal distribution parameterised by your chosen expected return and volatility. The model runs three phases: (1) Accumulation — contributions and investment growth build the pot until retirement; (2) Bridge — the period between retirement and State Pension start age where full income is drawn with no State Pension supplement; (3) Decumulation — withdrawals reduce the pot, partially offset by State Pension income, until life expectancy. A simulation "fails" if the pot reaches zero before life expectancy. Success rate = % of 5,000 simulations where the pot survives.
Important Limitations
This model does not account for: income tax on pension withdrawals, means-tested benefits, long-term care costs, defined benefit pension income, future changes to State Pension age or amount, or currency risk.
