Debate House Prices
In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non MoneySaving matters are no longer permitted. This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.

The difference between the 2 is mostly because:
1. the civil service has been reducing its numbers over the past ~20 years whilst the NHS has been enlarging. Thus they have differing ratios of active members paying in & pensioners taking out.
2. The civil service has a lower employees contribution (~3.5% vs ~6.5%) to make up for its lower salary than the NHS
