Public-sector workers consistently underestimate the value of their DB pension by a factor of 10 or more. Index-linked, guaranteed-for-life pensions are worth a fortune in DC equivalent terms. Sonuswealth's first job for an NHS / TPS / AFPS / LGPS member: show you the real number.
Niamh's NHS Band 7 pension at age 60 is projected at roughly £30,200 a year, index-linked for life (2015 CARE 1/54 accrual, 36 yrs at 60 on a £45k average pensionable pay). To replicate that with a DC pension at a sustainable 4% withdrawal rate plus an index-linked premium, you'd need approximately £940,000. Sonuswealth does this maths for every NHS, TPS, AFPS, and LGPS member from day one.
Unlike Defined Contribution (DC) schemes, public sector pensions grow through annual guaranteed slices. Each year's slice is locked in and revalued annually with inflation plus an active service premium until you retire.
Sonuswealth revealed Niamh's projected NHS DB pension at 60 is the equivalent of ~£940k DC — index-linked, guaranteed for life. She redirects SIPP money to her children's Junior ISAs. £4.50/month, paid by Niamh, paid back many times over by the maths.
Tom thought his pension was a number on a confusing TPS letter. Sonuswealth translates it. With 20 more years of contributions, his retirement income at 60 hits £31k/yr index-linked - equivalent to a DC pot of nearly £880k. Frees up his SIPP for early-retirement bridge.
Resettlement guides are dense. Sonuswealth models Sam's AFPS deferred pension, EDP, and post-service career income together - flags the income-tax band implications of stacking AFPS income with civilian salary in his first three years out. He keeps the EDP lump sum in an ISA; redirects the rest.
NHS staff, teachers, the armed forces, public-sector workers - you've been asked to absorb 14 years of pay restraint, real-terms cuts, and post-2022 inflation that wiped out the last of the slack. The financial-services industry has had little to offer you. We thought we could do a small thing about it.
The discount isn't charity. We genuinely want public-sector workers using sonuswealth - not just because of the discount but because your DB pensions are some of the most complex DB pensions in the world, and we built the engine to handle them. NHS, TPS, USS, LGPS, AFPS, Police, Fire - all natively modelled. Most consumer tools don't even try.
At £4.50 a month, sonuswealth models your DB benefits so you can understand your numbers, keep your plans up to date, and have more productive conversations with your adviser.
Your discount stays for the rest of your current billing period. After that, you move onto standard pricing - but your data, your plan, your history all stay with you. No re-onboarding.
If you're a GP partner billing through an NHS contract and you receive an NHS Pension Scheme contribution, you qualify. If you've completely opted out, email us and we'll handle it case-by-case.

Yes - that's one of the first things sonuswealth does for every DB member. We translate index-linked DB income into the DC pot you'd need to replicate it at a sustainable withdrawal rate. The number is often startling - see the worked examples above.
No. As long as your work email verifies, the discount applies for as long as you're a member. We may add new public-sector categories over time - never remove existing ones.
No. Sonuswealth is not FCA-authorised and we don't give regulated financial advice. We provide information and guidance — we model your pension, explain your tax position, project your retirement, and answer questions in plain English. We never recommend specific products or transactions. For a personal recommendation, speak to an FCA-authorised IFA. See Trust & Security for the long version.
No. Never. Even if your employer eventually offers sonuswealth as a benefit (separate B2B product), the consumer subscription you've taken out is yours - your data is yours and your employer cannot see it.
