Translate a Pension Statement Into Plain English
The annual pension statement arrives, gets a glance, and goes in a drawer, because it reads like it was written to be skimmed past. Paste the text in and get the pot value, the projections, the charges and the jargon translated into plain English, with the assumptions behind any projection spelled out.

**Translate** the pasted statement into plain English:
1. Current pot value and what contributions fed into it this year
2. Any projected retirement income figures, restated with their assumptions made explicit (assumed retirement age, assumed growth rate)
3. Charges mentioned, translated into what they cost in pounds per year on the current pot size
4. Any jargon terms (e.g. crystallisation, annuity, drawdown) explained in one plain sentence each
