Your employer would pay in more if you did
- Your employer matches personal contributions up to 8.0% of salary (Workplace scheme).
- You pay in about 6.0% of a £92,000 salary.
- Unclaimed employer money: about £1,840 a year, before tax relief on your extra contribution.
Next step: Ask HR or payroll how the match works and how to change your contribution rate.
Why am I seeing this?
Estimate basis: Employer contributions not received each year.
Confidence: 100% (from how many of the figures used are confirmed and recent)
Assumptions: Match terms are as recorded on your statement; schemes differ, so confirm them with HR.
- Keep contributions as they are if you need the cash now.
- Raise contributions gradually at each pay rise.
