Right annuity
help to find your right annuity
Welcome to right annuity
As you approach retirement and start thinking about life after work, it is important that you take steps to maximise your retirement income (‘annuity’ in technical terms). How much you receive is really key, and it cannot be changed, and is payable every year until you die.
Hopefully that could be for a good long time.
Your personal circumstances can significantly effect the income you are entitled to recieve.

Three key facts
Can I shop around?
You CAN shop around to find the best pension annuity available. You are able to do this because of a facility known as an ‘open market option’. The good news is that this shopping around can be done for you.
Will I be better off by shopping around?
If you do shop around it is EXTREMELY likely that you will improve your pension income. By ‘shopping around’ you will find some pension annuities provide a level of income in excess of 35%** above that originally offered by your current provider. Putting this into figures, £5000 per year could become £6,750, and £10000 per year could become £13,500. It really could be that significant.
I have a medical or lifestyle condition, how might this affect me?
If you have, or have had, a medical or lifestyle condition, this could have an impact on the pension annuity you receive, meaning you could qualify for a higher amount – see enhanced annuity page. Indeed, if you have smoked (for example, for ten years or more) this, too, could have an effect on what you receive. This is probably the only time in your life when being a sufferer or a smoker could be to your financial advantage. Over 1,500 medical and lifestyle conditions could qualify.***
