Pension management charges

Every workplace pension scheme charges members for looking after their money. You might hear this called an annual management charge or AMC for short. The higher the charge, the less money goes towards your retirement.

As we’re run by a not-for-profit organisation, we can help you save thousands of pounds more2 by reducing the rate we charge you as your savings increase.

1 £1.5 million is the combined total of the rebate on all of our members’ pots each month in 2023.

Boost your savings with us to receive a larger rebate

Saving for later life is one of the best things you can do with any spare money – perhaps not one of the most fun things, but definitely one of the smartest. By saving a little more, you could increase the rebate you receive on your management charge, reducing the rate you’re charged. This could add thousands of pounds more1 towards your future. There are 2 ways you could consider doing this.

1. Bring all your pots together

If you’ve worked for more than one employer, it’s likely you’ll have more than one pension pot. By bringing all your pots together with us (known as transferring or consolidating), you could receive a larger rebate as your pension pot would be bigger. Plus, it’ll make it easier to keep track of your money.

2. Increase the amount you pay in

The more you pay in (or ‘contribute’) to your pension, the larger the rebate you may receive – which could reduce your charge rate. You can ask your employer to set up the extra payments for you or you can make personal payments directly into your pension.

The impact of boosting your savings

Neil has saved £1,500 so far

So in a typical year, the annual charge of £4.50 plus the management charge of 0.5% meant that he paid £122 and received no rebate.

What will happen as his pot grows
£120 is paid into Neil’s pot each month.

Once he has over £3,000 in his pot, he’ll start to receive a rebate on his management charge, providing a nice little extra boost to his pension savings.

Plus, he could get there quicker if he considered bringing other pension pots into The People’s Pension or increasing the amount he contributes.

Kate has £15,000 saved so far

So in a typical year, the annual charge of £4.50 plus the management charge of 0.5% meant that she paid £79.502. Then, each month throughout the year, she received a rebate that would have totalled £17 by the end of the year. Therefore, the charge less the rebate was £62.50 for the year.

How her charge rebate is calculated
On the £7,000 between £3,000 and £10,000, she received a rebate of 0.1% (£7 for the year). And on the £5,000 above £10,000, she received a rebate of 0.2% (£10 for the year).

The more Kate saves the bigger her rebate will become, meaning more money will be going towards her retirement. What’s not to like?
