Cross-border financial data
The questions expatriates ask are well covered by explainers and badly covered by numbers. Plenty of guides describe how a UK pension transfer works. Almost none show what is actually happening to UK pensions, at what scale, or how it has changed.
This section publishes that missing layer: official data, charted, with every figure written out so it can be read, quoted and checked. Each series is a permanent page rather than a dated article, and it is updated in place when the source publishes.
UK pension withdrawals
770,000 people drew £5,920m in 2026 Q1, averaging £7,688 each
How many people draw on a UK pension, how much they take, how often, at what age, and the gap between men and women. Full quarterly series since 2015.
How these pages are built
Every figure is pulled directly from the publishing body's own data file, not from a press summary of it, and the page is regenerated from that file rather than edited by hand. That is deliberate: it means a page cannot drift away from its source between releases.
Each page names its source, the release date of the figures, the period covered, and any rounding or suppression the publisher applies. Where a source withholds a value, it is shown as withheld rather than estimated.
