Really neat financial planning tool which can be used to create an initial retirement plan with graphical representations. Best of all it’s free and can be updated/adjusted for different sce... See more

Really simple to use and gives a good indication of what’s possible - maybe sooner than some would expect. Lots of variables can throw things off course but that’s life. For anyone that hasn’t looke... See more

Probably more powerful than any of its competitor apps for retirement financial planning. Could always have inputs for more (a bit more detailed health history, more country specific etc). However, as... See more

Great tool. Can play with inputs and outcomes. Can help make confident decisions and see gaps/solutions in plans. Recommended to me, I would recommend on. Edit - hopefully a "couples" version is re... See more

The calculator is easy to use and highly configurable (eg. modifying income over time). The suggested fixes to the plan were very useful. It's the best calculator and planning tool I've encountered by... See more

The basic product is pretty good, but there are extensions that would naturally fit into the customer journey here that are not provided - eg dealing with a parter, considering inheritance tax, dealin... See more

The platform guided you through the set up and was super easy to tweak elements and see the impact, providing a lot of information in a very clear format. Would be 5 stars when you can add your partn... See more

WoW very very impressive and user friendly - lots of opportunity to change figures as you proceed through the plan and assistance on how to improve.. I have looked at many different planners and this... See more

A great tool to plan your retirement income with. You can see how your various pots and savings can be used to realise the yearly income that you desire and see where any risks might lie.

Well thought out product that helps me forecast my pension and investments under different scenarios. I had a little trouble on one part of the site, but when I emailed in, I got an answer straight... See more

It’s ok. Not fully compatible with real life scenarios, such as married / single , partner still working. Confusing how to show a 25% tfa in the available options and it assumes I spend it. I won’t b... See more

The user interface and workflow were intuitive. I wanted to be able to have more control over how long I wanted the income to grow. 75 or life was too limiting

This company does not force you to give your personal information unless you want to. It provided me with most of the information I wanted to know. Very simple to use. Allows what if scenarios.

Guiide retirement tool is excellent. It is so much better than spreadsheets. I can't recommend it enough for those trying to establish whether or not they have "enough" money to retire

I was looking for a tool to help me take charge of planning my financial future as I look ahead to retirement. This is exactly what I needed, and I feel much more empowered now. I look forward to seei... See more

A very good app for planning my pension when even my provider couldn't give me an accurate outlook, now I know that I can hang up my gloves a couple of years sooner.

Great product, it's innovative in terms of how flexible it is, why can't the big companies offer this free service.....we all know why. Absolute recommend GUIIDE.

The website gave quite a few options for customisation and allowed me to get a good idea of future funding. Lost one star for being just based on a single person with no options for a couple - I put t... See more

Easy to get a retirement plan, but several limitations (at the moment) mean that it doesn’t cover all situations, but I believe Guiide will improve over time. I like how it gives a different scenarios... See more

Early days of using it but interesting to see that I may be able to retire earlier than I thought. It's a well thought out and thorough tool, all the assumptions seem reasonable.

Guiide is an excellent free pension calculator that I would highly recommend. It’s very easy to use, gives clear results instantly, and avoids the usual jargon that makes financial tools confusi... See more

The best calculator by far, allowing different pension pots to kick in at future dates. Hugely helpful to me in planning my retirement date

Excellent tool for retirement and pension fund planning. A few more customization options and it would be perfect. So a 9 out of 10 for me.

So simple to use, but extremely helpful and powerful. Excellent company - sent them a chat query & within minutes Kevin solved it.
