Pension dashboards are due to launch in October 2026.
What is a pensions dashboard?
Simply put, a pension dashboard combines information from all your pension savings – even those long-forgotten ones – in one convenient place. Giving you a full and meaningful overview of your potential retirement income.
Key features
1. Combined view
On a pension dashboard, you can see information from all your different workplace pensions, personal pensions, and the State Pension in one place. This can give you a better understanding of your potential income at retirement, especially if you have pensions from a number of previous employers.
“The average working person in the UK has around six different employers in their lifetime. That can mean six different pensions and six lots of administrators to contact to get pensions information.”
2. Find lost or forgotten pensions
Find pensions you’ve lost touch with, or you may have forgotten you had. By entering some identifying information, the governments pensions finding service will securely find any previous pensions.
“There are around £27 billion of unclaimed pension pots in the UK.”
3. Keep in touch with your providers
Once your pensions are located, you can use the dashboard to stay in contact with your pension providers. Dashboards feature links to each of your providers, allowing you to easily contact them if you need to update your contact details, make changes to your investments, arrange to take your pension at retirement, and more.
