If you’re already paying above the increased minimum amounts, you don’t need to worry or make any changes.

What if your pension scheme requires different minimum contributions?

You have an agreement with your pension provider to:

  • Use different minimum contributions
  • Base the contributions on certain payments

The Pensions Regulator’s website provides further information.

Read their article calculate contributions using different elements of staff pay (opens in new tab).

If you’re unsure which elements your scheme uses, contact your pension provider.

Once you have this information, you can Manage your employees contributions.
