This interactive graph details the average size of pension pots around the globe versus cost of living, the aim of which is to show how well or badly a UK citizen could live if they chose to retire abroad.

Recent research has suggested the average UK pension will bring in some £15,800 for British retirees. While this may seem like a modest amount, you might be surprised by how far this pension could stretch if you were to live abroad.

If you’re considering a move overseas when your career comes to a close, the map above – using research into average earnings, pension pots, medical costs and cost of living – highlights where in the world your pension pot would stretch furthest, and also where you might struggle to make ends meet.
