flag UK pension reforms in 2026 aim to improve retirement planning through a dashboard, advice, and scheme fixes, but many savers remain inactive despite rising risks.

flag In 2026, UK pension savers will face four major reforms aimed at improving retirement planning: a national pensions dashboard launching by October 31 will consolidate all pension pots in one place, a revived Pensions Commission will assess system-wide issues, a targeted advice regime will offer tailored guidance starting April 2026, and the Pension Schemes Bill may introduce default retirement income options and help fix underperforming schemes. flag These changes come as nearly a third of savers say they’d increase contributions if they reviewed their plans, especially younger and higher earners. flag However, only a small fraction plan to act on these intentions, highlighting a gap between awareness and action. flag Meanwhile, rising state pension age, upcoming inheritance tax on pension death benefits from 2027, and economic pressures are increasing uncertainty, prompting experts to urge proactive review of pensions, consolidation of accounts, and use of free guidance tools to avoid long-term financial risks.
