Introduction to Combined Pension Forecasting

Introduction

Combined Pension Forecasting (CPF) is a government scheme available to employers and pension providers that was launched in October 2001. It enables an individual to get a better understanding of their likely income in retirement by combining details of their personal or occupational pension and their State Pension forecast.

The initiative involves employers, pension providers and Third Party Administrators working with The Pension Service to deliver these key pieces of financial information.

CPFs can also benefit employees, by encouraging them to review their pension arrangements every year and consider whether their current pension provision will meet their requirements when they retire.

State Pension information is provided free by the Department for Work and Pensions, as is technical support, explanatory leaflets and follow-up enquiries.

A DVD/CD-Rom, which provides further information on CPF, is also available. You can request a copy from the CPF team at CPF-CAM-Team@dwp.gsi.gov.uk.
