What are the current minimum pension contributions?
Pension contributions are generally calculated based on an employee’s qualifying earnings, using the minimum percentages as detailed below.
Employer | Employee | Government | Total | |
(Present) 6th April 2019 onwards |
3% | 4% | 1%* |
8% |
*Please note: only some pension schemes claim tax relief from the government. If you choose to enrol your employee in a pension scheme which does not claim tax relief from the government, the full 8% contributions must be split between the employer and employee, with the employer paying a minimum of 3%
