WHAT IS THE PENSION GAP?
The pension gap is the difference between the amount that a person is saving and the amount that someone will need to enjoy a retirement with a similar income to their current income levels.
We are an ageing population, and it is therefore possible that people could run out of money during retirement. Current autoenrollment levels of 8% are well below the figures of 12-15% of income that financial experts suggest.
The state pension will not be sufficient and with a growing number of individuals renting in retirement more income is needed. This is part of the growing inequality in our society
CASE STUDY
Nest is the government sponsored workplace pension provider set up to ensure that all employers have the ability to offer auto enrolment to their employees.
Nest has 9.5m members saving with them. In their recent ‘Retirement saving in the UK 2020’ report, they detail that their typical member is 40 years old with a gross income of £19,000 per annum.
Through auto enrolment, this means that this member will be saving £126.67 a month into their pension savings. After 25 years, this member could expect to have built up £76,000 assuming a 5% growth rate.
By becoming an AirFunder and building extra entitlement for free of, perhaps £30 a month, this members fund could be £94,000 with the impact of extra funds being added.
WHAT IS THE POVERTY PREMIUM?
The poverty premium is a hidden form of discrimination that is the extra amount that it costs someone to live, simply because they are poor.
There are extra costs attached to lots of things that people take for granted for those that do not have financial resilience and are therefore excluded from the financial benefits of wealth.
There are many examples of how this plays out such as prepayment meters for gas and electricity and the higher costs of borrowing linked to an individual’s credit score.
Recent research from the University of Bristol suggests that it costs low income households an extra £490 to £780 a year to live, simply because they are poor.
If you are a prisoner to every penny then retirement savings are the last thing on your mind.
Linking the well established world of loyalty with a new outcome for that loyalty is our goal, in encouraging and enabling more people to put more money in to pensions.
