interactive investor report: The Great British Retirement Survey 2026

Everyone’s journey towards retirement is different. Some start saving earlier, while others need to focus on major life expenses first.

This report looks at how no two paths to retirement are the same. Whether an individual started planning decades ago or had to put saving on hold for life’s immediate priorities, everyone’s journey is unique. Yet the questions and concerns we face along the way are often remarkably similar.

The Great British Retirement Survey brings together the real experiences and attitudes of nearly 8,000 UK adults to build a clearer picture of retirement readiness today and uncover actionable insights to help people navigate their financial futures with confidence.

There are different areas the report focuses on, including:
  • Retirement readiness
  • Finances under strain
  • Expectations versus reality
  • Gender income and wealth gaps
  • Relationships and retirement
  • Financial advice and education
