Pensions dashboards will show your pensions information securely, online, and all in one place.

This includes your workplace pensions, personal pensions, your State Pension and any that you may have lost touch with.

On a dashboard, you'll see your total estimated retirement income. This shows how much you could get from your pensions each month or each year when you retire.

This is based on assumptions about how your pensions might grow over time, when you might retire, and how you might take your pension.

You'll see what pensions you have, who they're with, when they'll be available, and their estimated value. If they're from an employer, it will show their details.

Some pensions may take longer to calculate a value. This could take up to 10 working days, so you can check back at a later date to see this information.

In some cases, you may need to contact your pension provider with more information to confirm that a pension belongs to you.

On the dashboard, you'll only see pensions not yet in payment, and the State Pension won't appear if you've reached State Pension age.

Over 99% of all UK pension records will be findable through dashboards, but some smaller schemes won't be available.

Although you won't be able to make changes to your pensions or carry out transactions through the dashboard, you'll be directed to free and impartial guidance from MoneyHelper if you have any questions or want to understand more about your pensions and planning for retirement.
