What Landfall is for, and how to get a first answer out of it.
- What Landfall doesIt carries your household’s money forward, one year at a time, and tells you whether it lasts.
- Finding your way aroundWhere a plan’s pages live on each device, and what the icons stand for.
- Who it is forThe households Landfall models well, and the ones it will not serve.
- Making your first planRough figures first. Accuracy is easier once you can see the shape.
- Reading your State Pension forecastWhich figures on a gov.uk forecast the plan wants, and where each one goes.
- Reading your State Pension forecast, in more detailWhat the plan does with the figure once it is in: when it starts, how it rises, and what changes it.
- Estimating your retirement spendingFrom what you spend now to what you will spend then, one piece at a time.
- What enough looks likeSeveral bodies have put a price on a year of retirement. What their figures can tell you, and what they cannot.
- How the Retirement Living Standards are builtGroups of the public agree a basket, researchers price it, and three levels come out.
- Other ways of measuring enoughA share of your earnings, a surveyed average, a minimum. Each answers a different question.
- What the baskets leave outRent, care, family, the big one-off costs, and the shape of a retirement over time.
- Setting your plan beside the standardsWhat you see when you ask ‘Is this enough?’, and what it cannot tell you.
- A way of planningBuild it rough, find the weak point, test it, decide, and come back each year.
- Reading your resultsWhat the verdict, the figures, the timeline and the charts each tell you.
- The home stretchThe tab for the years before your last pension starts.
