To be nosey and ask how much you pay into your pension?

[Popc0rn]

I have only had a pension for the last few years since I started working in the NHS. From the start, I have paid 7.1% of my salary towards my pension every month, and have just had a pay rise, so will be paying in 9.3% from now on. This will be about £200 per month, it was about £140 before (it varies every month as my monthly pay varies depending on how many nights and weekends I do). The contribution rate that the NHS pays was 14.3%, but this has been increased to 20.6% from the 1st of April 2019 (which seems like a big increase to me, but I'm not complaining!)

I'm just curious nosey as to how much other people in different jobs pay towards their pensions, and how much their employers contribute?

Nothing any more. After paying NI for 47 years and my public sector pension for 33 years, I’m now in the happy position of drawing it out again.

Nothing for me...im 45 and only just surviving as it is....i refuse to scrimp even further to pay for a future i probably wont have....my parents died at 52 and 56....i am happy to keep working and will soon be mortgage free so will take my chances.
