Taking your benefits and savings

Let’s see what you’ll get when you’re ready to start taking your benefits and savings

What would you like to take?

What you get will depend on whether you've got Retirement Income Builder benefits (defined benefit) only or Retirement Income Builder benefits and Investment Builder (defined contribution) savings. If you have both, you have more flexibility with any savings that you have so you can take them before or after your Retirement Income Builder benefits in a way that suits you.

For more on how the Retirement Income Builder and Investment Builder work together visit how your pension works.

Keep tax in mind

Your pension and any savings will be taxed just like a regular income when you start taking them. If you’re thinking about what to take, there are different tax implications that may affect you. To find out about them, take a look at pension tax.
