NHS pension tax, made clear
Goldstone PenFinTech builds modelling tools and provides expert support that help NHS staff make sense of annual allowance, the McCloud remedy and their pension tax — clearly, accurately and in plain English. We also provide specialist NHS pensions expertise to the financial services sector, including our partners at Forvis Mazars.
The 26/27 modellers are live — see the release schedule. If you registered for the 25/26 modeller, you don't need to register again — use the custom purchase page in the emails we send you. New here? Register once to buy your modeller.
What we do
We combine purpose-built software with genuine NHS, tax and pensions expertise. Our modellers let you see your annual allowance position and pension tax under the McCloud remedy; our concierge service puts an expert eye over your figures; and our innovative, industry-leading PLUS add-on reads your official documents for you in seconds.
Interactive modellers show your annual allowance, growth and tax across the relevant years — helping you navigate risky tax traps including the £100k threshold and the punitive tapered annual allowance — so you can plan with confidence.
Our team reviews your figures by hand. We pick up errors on your record — in 25/26, up to half of clients had errors, often backpay errors — saving them thousands in potentially overpaid annual-allowance tax on pension benefits that would never have materialised.
Our innovative, industry-leading PLUS add-on lets you upload your TRS, pension saving statements and payslips and reads them automatically — in as little as 3.2 seconds — so your modeller is populated for you.
The modellers
Every tier builds on the last. We do things differently round here: not everyone needs every feature, so we believe you should pay for what you need and what you use. That means we can be really competitively priced, because we know many people will need our help year in, year out.
Not sure which one you need? Get help to CHOOSE — answer a few questions about your NHS pension and what you are trying to work out, and we will show you the tier and options that fit, what they cost, and why.
| Tier | Self-service | with PLUS | Concierge | Concierge + PLUS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bronze | £50£41.67 | — | — | — |
| Silver | £100£83.33 | £200£166.67 | £250£208.33 | £350£291.67 |
| Gold | £150£125.00 | £250£208.33 | £300£250.00 | £400£333.33 |
| Platinum | — | — | £400£333.33 | £500£416.67 |
Platinum is only available with concierge included. Optional add-on for Silver and above: a 30-minute Teams call with a specialist medical accountant from Forvis Mazars, a member of AISMA — £250£208.33. A complexity surcharge of £50£41.67 applies to complex concierge cases. Prices shown includeexclude VAT.
PLUS is not available with Bronze — it starts at Silver.
This is a Gold example. The Silver, Gold and Platinum videos are different and complementary — more on that below. Your video talks through your numbers — your pay, your pension, your tax position — not a generic walkthrough with someone else’s figures in it.
It isn’t AI generated nonsense. Every video is scripted by our experts around your actual figures, then recorded. That is why it can tell you what your numbers mean and what to do about them, rather than simply reading them back to you.
Run the scenarios you actually care about. Change your assumptions in the modeller — a promotion, going less than full time, salary sacrifice, retiring earlier — and get a video talking through that exact scenario, subject to the video credits you hold.
Each credit covers recording a video (watching your videos back doesn’t consume your credits) at every tier you hold, not just the top one. On Platinum, a single credit gives you all three:
A hands-on expert check of your figures. Officers and complex cases especially benefit — we routinely catch backpay and data errors before they cost you.
Concierge does not routinely include the personalised videos. PLUS can be added alongside it, so you can refresh your concierge-produced modeller with new documents as often as you like and get access to the videos.
Automatic document upload and reading — TRS, PSS, payslips and more — populating your modeller in seconds, as often as you like.
The personalised videos come with PLUS. Each tier has its own PLUS package — see Silver PLUS, Gold PLUS and Platinum PLUS above. ⓘ see an example

| Towards the end of the 26/27 tax year | Bespoke concierge | For cases the routine and complex services do not cover. Intended for GPs; for those who have retired or expect to retire in 26/27; and for other special circumstances, including members subject to a pension sharing order. |
A 30-minute Teams call with a specialist medical accountant from Forvis Mazars, who will review your GPFT modeller (once you complete it, or with concierge) in advance. £250 per call (£208.33 + VAT). Not sure yet? You can also purchase this in the future as an add-on.
NHS pensions and pension tax can be complex. Discuss your GPFT modeller with a fully qualified specialist medical accountant (Director or Associate Director) during a 30-minute Teams call. Your accountant will review your completed modeller in advance, and you can choose from available appointment slots (subject to availability). Forvis Mazars is a leading specialist medical accounting firm and a member of AISMA. Their expert medical accountants support over 2,000 medical professionals, providing expertise across NHS pensions, tax, accountancy and their chartered financial planners support medical professionals across the country with NHS pension planning, including retirement and wealth planning considerations.
Calls are taken by our team of specialist medical accountants.



When you purchase this add-on, you agree to our terms & conditions. After you complete your modeller with either self-service, PLUS or concierge, you will be given access to our booking service to choose from an available slot with one of our experts. You will be expected to arrive promptly at the start of your call. Our expert will wait 10 minutes if you are not present, and if there is a no-show the call will be ended. Calls can be cancelled with a free rebooking up to 24 hours before the start of your call. Calls cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice, or no-shows, will be subject to a rebooking fee of 30%.
Calls are provided for information purposes only and do not constitute tax, financial or investment advice.
Register first, purchase a call with your modeller — if you have already registered, use your custom purchase page in the emails to you.
See it in action

PLUS — reads your documents automatically. Our innovative, industry-leading PLUS add-on reads your official NHS pension documents and extracts the figures for you in as little as 3.2 seconds — the same 0–60 mph time as the legendary McLaren F1 supercar. Supported documents include payslips, 05 extracts, RPSS, pension saving statements (PSS), HMRC letters and TRS / ABS documents — upload them and PLUS populates your modeller.
Scheme pays break-even analysis. Our new scheme-pays page shows where electing scheme pays breaks even for you — weighing paying an annual allowance charge now against carrying it in your pension over time, so you can see the point at which one choice overtakes the other. It's an educational tool to help you make the decision that's right for you — not financial advice.
About us
Goldstone PenFinTech was set up in 2024 to bring clarity to one of the most complex areas facing NHS staff. In a short time we've helped thousands of members — and we're only getting started.
As well as supporting NHS staff directly, we provide specialist NHS pensions expertise to professional and financial services firms — including our partners at Forvis Mazars, with whom we work on McCloud pension support and for whom we design and deliver custom Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions that complete complex financial calculations and interact directly with government calculators. Those eligible for refunds got on average over £14,000 of overpaid tax refunded through the RPSS process.
We also build tools for the accountancy sector to process McCloud clients at scale — RPA that integrates directly with HMRC's tools, preserving accuracy and removing the transcription errors that come from re-keying figures by hand. Read more →
