How Much Should You Have in Your Pension by Every Age (30–50) UK?

Worried you’re not saving “enough” for retirement while juggling a mortgage, childcare and everything else? You’re not alone. Most people I speak to have their savings and day-to-day spending roughly under control, but their pension is a complete mystery. In this video, I walk you through exact pension pot targets for ages 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50 based on a £50,000 salary in the UK. Instead of vague rules like “x times your income”, I break it down into four clear lifestyle levels: Elite – aiming for 80% of your current income in retirement Good – on track for a comfortable, secure lifestyle OK – workable but needs attention Off track – where you may want to take action now This is especially for busy UK professionals with a mortgage and young kids who want: To know if they’re on track or behind To understand how much to contribute (and why 8% is rarely enough) To see how pensions and ISAs can work together for retirement To learn how to catch up gradually without blowing up the family budget We’ll cover: Realistic pension targets at each age (30–50) How to use 12–15% total contributions as a rule of thumb A simple way to increase contributions 1% a year so it actually sticks Why your late 40s and 50s are so powerful for compounding How to think about your retirement lifestyle, not just the numbers If you’re a couple in your 30s or 40s in the UK, earning a decent income but feeling behind, this video is designed to give you clarity, not judgment – and practical next steps you can actually take. 👉 If you found this helpful, please like the video, subscribe, and comment with your age and pension pot if you’d like me to cover more tailored examples in future videos.
