UK state pension triple lock adds £1,500/yr at a £154bn fiscal cost

New IFS analysis shows the UK State Pension triple lock now pays retirees about £1,500 a year more than an earnings-linked formula, at an annual cost of roughly £154 billion — the country's largest single benefit. For finance professionals, the figure frames the fiscal trade-off behind mounting Westminster pressure to reform indexation. Any shift to a 'double lock' or earnings-only uprating would materially alter long-run age-related spending and gilt supply.

Gas prices have more than doubled since February and UK power is among Europe's costliest, keeping upside risk to CPI and complicating Bank of England easing.
