In the private sector 7% is pretty typical. Though if you're less fortunate it could be zilch.The same as anyone who's taken a ~13% pay cut
Personally I think the private sector should be forced to increase their benefits, the public sector should reduce their's to sustainable levels, and they meet in the middle.
The current two-tier system cannot be sustained indefinitely.0 -

7% typical ?
Thought more like 0%, 3% or 4% - seem to apply to most SMEs
nb and new Gov't scheme is a 'con' as most people won't save enough to receive a pension greater than the pension credit!!!0 -
7% is a figure I've seen bandied about, but I couldn't vouch for its accuracy myself. I presume it isn't a mean being horribly skewed by CEOs and board members busily defrauding shareholders...Old_Slaphead wrote: »7% typical ?

Anyway, if you get 10% in the private sector you're lucky. 0% is rather common.0
