Pension contributions
How pension contributions work
At the end of our financial year, The People’s Pension Trustee – who is responsible for running the Scheme and for looking after all the pots of money held by the Scheme, gave our members the opportunity to ‘ask the Trustee a question’. To answer your questions and help you understand and get the most from your pension savings, we’ve created some short videos.
In these short videos on pension contributions, we explain what contributions are, how they work and where they come from.
Hear from Steve Delo, Chair of the Trustee, and Kevin Martin, Group Director of Customer Services as they share information on the contributions you’re making, the tax relief you might be able to benefit from and if you’re paying enough in contributions, to enjoy a comfortable retirement. To find out more on how contributions work, visit our workplace pension contributions page.
Payments into your pension savings are called contributions and these come from yourself, your employer, and the government. You can choose to pay in above the minimum contributions level if you want, and the government will add more in tax relief – up to a certain level. Together this will give you more money for later life. Find out about workplace pension contributions.
