What % does your employer pay into your pension?

Hi
What percent does your employer pay into your pension ?
( mine pays the min and understandably im not exactly exstatic about it )

Old employer was 16%. Current is 10%. Both private sector DC pensions.

Only 2% of my actual salary. It’s really low. I’m a bit concerned reading this thread!

Local Authority public sector. 6% so not as high as people seem to believe!

5%
last year it was only 3% so it’s a little boost

18.5% - but I don’t see a direct benefit (public sector) as it’s used to ensure there is enough money in the Pension Scheme to ensure everyone’s pensions can be paid.

I pay 13.5% and my employer pays 35%

Mine is the legal minimum, but we do get a bonus at Christmas that can go into pension tax free; it's 15% of my yearly pay so it's not awful.

3%. It’s a non-profit so hardly surprising.

Now that I’m getting older, I pay in the maximum out of my salary.

10.5%. I have to put in way more than that for tax reasons.

Min employer contributions is 3% of qualifying earnings. Are you on a low wage?

@DefyingGravidy I’m over £50k so I believe my employer (and myself) only pay the min % on anything below that.

9%, I put in 16%. We have pension salary sacrifice which is beneficial as it keeps the tax and NI payments lower.

Ive never heard of anyone not paying above the upper limit! (Mind you I didn’t realise there were so many getting above 10% so what do I know).

Yours wins the meanest employer award I think.

Teacher here 👋 So 28.68% apparently but as it’s DB it’s not clear cut like a private pension. I put in 9.9%.

@DefyingGravidy they're a fantastic employer in so many ways but yeah, I’ve realised they really let themselves down on pensions!

It's the opposite - high wage means 3% of qualifying wage is a lower percentage of actual wage. At one point my employer was paying less than 1% of mine.

You may well already know this, but you can pay any money you have (up to 60k) into a pension tax free. If your work scheme won’t let you, you can open a SIPP.

10% which is the maximum they contribute. Below that they match your contribution.

They do 13%, I do 5%

They put in 8% and I now do 31%

About 29% (but the job is pretty poorly paid).

Mine pay 35.3% (public sector)

I pay 13% and the government double it and pay about 26%. I work in the police. I can retire in 10 yrs when I'm 55.

Private sector - 4% and will match a further 6% for a max of 10%.

10% with no employee contribution required. A further 7% voluntary match contribution, which I do.

For me:
Me - 7%
Employer - 17% (10% plus 7% match)
Total contribution = 24%

Private sector, defined contribution scheme.
