I know a lot of people using the calculator now to take a reading of what they will get if they bang out in 15. Also what they would have got had AFPS 75 or 05 survived till retirement. That way when the new scheme comes out, they can see if they are being fleeced, by how much, and make an informed decision about financial planning for the future.
I hate to play devils advocate especially as I may well get fleeced too, but with the calculator(even given it is not 100% accurate), there is no excuse to not know what you will get on retirement from the mob, and therefore plan for it. Roll on the new deal, at least I will know where I stand and make the decision in the immortal style of a well known song by The Clash.
