Financial Planning for GPs
Whether you are a locum, salaried GP or practice principal get a financial plan designed around your income, pension, protection and long-term goals.
GP Finances Are Different
Every GPs career is different. Some work as salaried GPs, others become practice principals, while many combine GMS, private, locum or out-of-hours work. Each career path brings different income patterns, pension arrangements and financial responsibilities.
That is why financial planning should be tailored to your individual circumstances. The right strategy should reflect your career stage, income structure, practice arrangements, family commitments and long-term goals, helping you build financial security while making the most of the opportunities available throughout your career.

Plan Every Part
Start with the priority that matters now, then build a complete plan over time.
Clear answers to the questions we hear most often.
GMS pension benefits can make pension planning more complex particularly when combined with private income and personal pension contributions.
Yes, but existing pension contributions need to be considered when calculating how much additional tax-relieved pension funding is available.
Review your GMS pension, previous pensionable service, private pensions and AVCs to plan how and when each benefit may be taken.
If illness or injury prevents you practising your income can fall while household and practice commitments continue.
Potentially. GMS income, locum costs and practice responsibilities should all be considered when determining the appropriate cover.
Your savings strategy should provide a suitable emergency reserve while also funding shorter-term goals such as tax, property and family costs.
A locum, salaried GP or practice principal can have very different income, pension and financial-planning requirements.
