Pension bridge
The years of an early retirement the portfolio must fund entirely on its own: from the day you stop working to the day a pension, state or private, begins to pay. The earlier the exit, the longer the bridge, and the less any far-off pension can carry today's plan.
What it means for you
See it in numbersThe Pension Bridge Retire early and the pot has two jobs: carry the years before any pension alone, then cover whatever the pension doesn’t. Enter your exit, your spend and the pension you’re promised, and see the bridge, the smaller number after, and how much of the plan that far-off promise honestly carries.Retire at 40 with a pension at 67 and the pot alone pays for 27 years. Price that bridge before you count the pension.
