The Retirement Living Standards aim to help people understand how much income is needed to achieve a certain lifestyle in retirement. 

Six years ago, when the standards were first launched, the income needed to enjoy a basic (minimum), moderate or comfortable retirement for an individual was £10,000, £20,000 and £30,000 respectively. Now, in 2025, a single person will need an income of around £13,400 a year to achieve the minimum living standard, £31,700 a year for moderate and £43,900 a year for comfortable (and more if you live in London).
