Flexible contributions
As a contractor your earnings probably aren’t easy to forecast.
Penfold is designed to adjust to your finances. Once you’re set up you can change, top-up, or pause payments instantly and at any time. If you’re unsure about how much to contribute, our pension calculator will help you decide how much to save to get the retirement you want.
Even better - self-employed workers get a 25% tax relief top-up on contributions. We organise this for you, automatically adding it to your pension. Subject to annual allowance. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change in the future.
Optimise your finances
If you're a director or run a limited company you can make tax efficient pension contributions.
Tax-free
Pension contributions from your limited company are classed as a business expense, so you won't pay any tax on these payments.
Save up to 25%
Business contributions are deductible from your corporation tax bill. £1,000 paid into your pension cuts your tax bill by £190 to £250 depending on your Corporation Tax Rate.
Maximise your allowance
Business pension contributions can be made without the tax-free salary restriction that most people are subject to.
Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change in the future.
Transfer and combine
Previously worked as an employee? You probably have old workplace pensions that make it difficult to understand how much you have saved, and need to save, for retirement. There's the added stress of managing multiple old accounts and your savings may be invested in poor performing funds by default.
Combine your old pensions into a single Penfold account and you'll easily be able to see the total value of your savings and have access to our top performing funds. Transferring is free and our specialist team will manage it for you.
Once you've requested a pension transfer, we'll contact your previous providers and do the hard work for you. You'll be able to stay up to date with progress any time on your Penfold dashboard.
It’s important to compare providers’ fees and any guaranteed benefits when deciding on whether to transfer, and be sure that the investments available are suitable for you. If your employer is paying into your pension currently, transferring that pot may mean you lose out on their contribution.

If you sign up for Penfold, we’ll help you figure this out by applying some helpful rules of thumb and making some assumptions about what sort of life you want to live when you’re a bit older.
We make it easy to pay through business contributions, after tapping the Add Money button simply use the Limited Company Account option to set up a payment. You can then adjust, pause and top up your pension through your limited company bank account via Direct Debit and bank transfer.
Yes, you have the option to make payments by business or personal contributions or both. You can do this through regular and top up payments, via Direct Debit and bank transfer.
Paying in with personal contributions means that you will receive a 25% tax top up from the government. The government’s tax relief is essentially paying back the income tax you’ve already paid on that contribution. Tax treatment does depend on your individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future.
Our platform is based on giving you pension peace of mind. We believe you should know your savings are being looked after, no matter what the future holds.
Penfold doesn't hold or manage your money. Anything paid into your pension is initially transferred into a secure account held by a custodian bank. It’s usually held here for one business day before being used to buy into your selected investment plan managed by Blackrock and HSBC - two of the world’s largest money managers.
Here’s the important thing to remember - your pension savings are kept separate from Penfold and belong entirely to you. If anything were to happen to Penfold your money can’t be touched by us or any of our partners - your pension would be transferred to another provider, ready for your retirement.
Your savings are used to invest in a mixture of shares (part ownership in a company) and bonds (a loan with a guaranteed fixed interest rate) that will hopefully help your pension grow over time. As with any investment, this involves risk - the value of your pension can go up as well as down, and you could get back less than you put in. However, greater risk can lead to greater returns - if you have a long time before retirement, investing over the long-term can help ease any short-term losses. Read our What does capital at risk mean? blog post to learn more about investing risk.
Penfold is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), number 826097.
Penfold is also a part of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). In the unlikely event that something were to happen to Penfold or our partners (Blackrock, HSC and Lloyds bank), the value of your pension is protected up to a maximum of £85,000 per individual.
As a digital pension provider, we understand that many people want to know how their personal information is kept safe. To safeguard your data, we use the latest security technology and maintain strict internal practices every step of the way.
We also comply with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) guidelines. We'll never share your information with anyone else without asking you first.
