Final Salary Pension

I've been given the chance to join my works pension scheme.

I would have to pay 7% per mth and they will contribute approx 13%. It's based on final salary.

I know absolutely nothing about pensions and wondered if this sounds ok?

Any advise greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

    Join tomorrow, you wiill not get a better offer, most companies have closed down final salary schemes for new employees in favour of the less lucrative money purchase schemes;)

    100% agree, final salary pensions are the best deal going by a long chalk.
