Pension dashboards are here
All your pensions, all in one place.
Simply put, a pension dashboard combines information from all your pension savings – even those long-forgotten ones – in one convenient place. Giving you a full and meaningful overview of your potential retirement income.
Key features
1. Combined view
On a pension dashboard, you can see information from all your different workplace pensions, personal pensions, and the State Pension in one place. This can give you a better understanding of your potential income at retirement, especially if you have pensions from a number of previous employers.
“The average working person in the UK has around six different employers in their lifetime. That can mean six different pensions and six lots of administrators to contact to get pensions information.”
2. Find lost or forgotten pensions
Find pensions you’ve lost touch with, or you may have forgotten you had. By entering some identifying information, the governments pensions finding service will securely find any previous pensions.
“There are around £27 billion of unclaimed pension pots in the UK.”
3. Keep in touch with your providers
Once your pensions are located, you can use the dashboard to stay in contact with your pension providers. Dashboards feature links to each of your providers, allowing you to easily contact them if you need to update your contact details, make changes to your investments, arrange to take your pension at retirement, and more.
How does it work?
All dashboards use the governments pensions finding services to find pensions matching your details.
-
You’ll need to prove your identity using GOV.UK One Login
- You’ll also need to enter your National Insurance number (if you know it)
- You’ll be matched with your pension records
- If any pension records are not an exact match –perhaps due to a name change since working for that employer – you’ll be given the option to contact the provider to confirm if the pension record belongs to you.
- If you have already retired or are semi-retired the dashboard will not show you any pensions that are already in payment.
You’ll need
- A mobile phone
- Photo ID to set up your GOV.UK One login (if you don’t have one)
- National Insurance number, if you know it
Pension dashboards are free to use, if you are being asked to pay for this service it may not be legitimate – please read the information on potential dashboard scams.

Dashboard FAQs
Which dashboard should I use?
All dashboards must be licenced by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and adhere to their standards ensuring data security and consistency of information presented to users. So whichever dashboard you use all the figures and information will be the same.
The Money and Pensions Service has created a dashboard but there are other dashboards available.
My pension figures are not showing?
In some circumstances your pension figures may not appear on the dashboard:
- The values shown will have been calculated within the last 12-13 months. In some cases, you may have to wait up to 10 days for the calculation to be made. You do not need to contact us to request a value, simply check your Dashboard at a later date.
- Pension schemes with less than 100 remaining members do not need to provide data to the dashboard and will not be shown.
- If your pension is in payment, it will not be shown on the dashboard.
How is my Normal Retirement Age calculated?
Your Normal Retirement Age (NRA) can vary between schemes and can be different from your State Pension Age (SPA). You should refer to the individual scheme for details of how your NRA is calculated.
What happens when I retire?
Any plans you have retired from will no longer appear on the dashboard, you need to take this into account if you are using the dashboard for planning.
What about private pensions, will they show in dashboard?
Yes, all pensions including private pensions will appear on the dashboard. However, the timing for inclusion on the dashboard depends on the size of the membership so smaller schemes may not appear until after dashboard has launched.
What if I have more than one pension with my current employer?
Both will show on the dashboard. However, if they are with different providers you will need to contact them separately to update your details or take any actions.
Do the figures take into account any pension sharing orders?
The figures on the dashboard do not take into account any pension sharing orders you might have.
How do I find my National Insurance number?
You can find your National Insurance number on a document you already have, for example a P60, payslip or letters about benefits. If you do not have one of these you can use the governments online service to find your National Insurance number.
Is my data safe on a dashboard?
All dashboards must meet strict standards in order to access your data, these standards are created and enforced by the Pensions Dashboards Programme (PDP). The PDP is also in charge of creating the main digital system for pensions dashboards.
