Summarise a Pension Statement
The annual pension statement arrives, you glance at a number that means nothing, and it goes in the drawer. Paste it in instead: what the pot is worth, what the projection assumes, whether your contributions are on track against the two-thirds benchmark, and which recommended actions deserve follow-up.

**Summarise the statement in plain English:**
1. State the current pot value and what the projected retirement income looks like at the default retirement date
2. Explain the assumptions behind the projection (growth rate, inflation, retirement age) and note that they may not reflect the person's actual situation
3. Identify whether the person's current contribution rate is likely to be sufficient, using the commonly cited target of two-thirds of current income at retirement as a rough benchmark
4. List any actions the statement recommends and whether they are worth following up on
