Pension administrators: check a member's GMP

Use this service to get a pension scheme member’s Guaranteed Minimum Pension (GMP) calculation.

Use the GMP checker to get a calculation for your members.

Before you start

To use the Pension Scheme Online service, you need a Government Gateway user ID and password. If you do not have a user ID, you can create one the first time you register.

You can either:

  • get an instant calculation for one member at a time
  • request a bulk calculation by uploading a CSV template - you’ll be sent an email when the result is ready

You can check your member’s record against the information HMRC holds.

For each calculation you’ll need the member’s:

  • scheme contracted out number
  • National Insurance number
  • first name or initial
  • last name

This service is unavailable from 2am to 5am Greenwich Mean Time due to regular maintenance. Please stop using the service before then or you will not be able to finish your tasks.
