Check the value of your benefits
You get a guaranteed income for life when you retire and the option to take some as a one-off, tax-free cash lump sum. If you have Investment Builder savings, you’ll also have a flexible savings pot that you can use in a number of ways to suit you.
You can find the value of your benefits and savings at your date of leaving in My USS or on your leaver statement. Enter the value into the Deferred Pension Increase Modeller to see what your benefits could be when you reach the Normal Pension Age (NPA).
