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 )

15% employer, plus an additional 10% of whatever I put in (essentially the employer ni I am saving them)

14.5%

We don’t have to contribute to ours and there’s no matching. Private sector.

5% initially
6.5% 5 years service
7.5% 10 years
10% 15 years
12.5% 20 years

i put in 20% currently

Private company - match up to 8% and after three years service they add an extra 4-% , which you don’t have to match

50% - I'm in EU though

3%. All the other posts make me jealous.

Charity. Mine match up to 10%

3%!!!

3% on base salary nothing in bonus or commission

8%, so I put more in on top.

8% - a charity

Nhs here so 23% I think. Don't know where it goes though as I am on a CARE scheme which means 1/54th of my salary per year goes into the pot, sits there and grows each year.... then the total number at when I retire is my annual amount. No matter how many videos I watch nothing is ever mentioned re employer contribution.

Self employed so I am my own employer and contribute 33.3333333% at least per month

Self employed so no one else contributes hence me sinking 25% of my income into private pension pots.

It goes to fund the current pensions. Your contributions do too. You don't build up a pot in the NHS. They allocate you 1/54 each year but that will be paid to you by the people contributing to the scheme when you retire

I thought mine was amazingly generous at 10% (i used to get absolute minimum for decades until i moved jobs) i never knew people could get as much as 25% , what sort of companies and industries pay those %?

My employer pays 12%, I pay in an additional 8% and they match 3% of that

I pay 6.8% and they pay around 18%.

Thanks , so how does what my.employer pay make a difference to my actual pension? I've never really understood that bit
Thanks

15% plus 10% of my contribution.

Nope doesn't make any difference. You're just funding my current pension at the moment. Thank you 🙏 . I had to explain this to my staff as they changed the way they calculated the % for employees who were part time so they were paying in a lower percentage but it doesn't affect their final pension.

10% of salary (although salary is only about 75% of my total earnings, so it's like 7.5% of my total earnings)

It may be that these are public sector employees and it's a DB (eg final salary) pension not a pot

Final salary pensions were stopped years ago in the public sector

Yes, they're career average now but still bear no resemblance to what you're paying in. Public service employees pay a lot as does the employer IE NHS, teaching so tax payer really.

I think it's important in these threads to make the distinction between defined benefit and defined contribution pensions.
