2. The rest stays investedWhat you don't take can keep growing, though it can also fall.
2. How will withdrawals affect your tax?Anything above your tax-free cash is taxed as income, so large withdrawals could push you into a higher tax band.
3. You choose how much to take, and whenYou can adjust what you take as your needs change.
