2015 NHS Pension Calculator for Doctors

Simulate your NHS 2015 pension accrual from F1/F2 to GP or Consultant, including early retirement scenarios. All figures are illustrative and do not account for inflation or actual pay progression (unless specified).

NOTE: All figures used in this calculator (pay progression, SIPP growth rates) are above inflation, so the calculated income and pot sizes are in today's money.

Used for general context, but life expectancy is now from the ONS tool below.

This is your specific Normal Pension Age for the 2015 scheme.

Earliest retirement is 13 years before your NPA.

Applied above inflation until the conservative period starts.

SIPP Drawdown Simulation

This table shows how your SIPP pot would perform if you withdrew an amount equal to your NHS pension annually.

DISCLAIMER: This SIPP growth simulation is a simplification. Actual investment growth is rarely uniform and can fluctuate significantly, leading to different outcomes than presented here. This model likely overestimates consistent returns.
