Want to provide security in retirement?

The Living Pension standard builds on the work of the real Living Wage by providing stability and security for workers now and in the future.

It's a voluntary savings target for employers to help workers build a pension pot that will provide enough income to meet everyday needs in retirement. It is independently calculated based on the real cost of living.
