According to Occupational Pension Scheme Survey:



Note that this survey doesn't cover contract-based pensions, and in particular Group Personal/Stakeholder Pensions which are used by many employers. But other surveys which do cover those normally come up with a combined employee/employer contribution of about 10% or perhaps a little lower.

The survey covers 1 million individuals in occupational defined contribution pensions so is quite representative.

Worringly ONS appears to be broken (hopefully its just a problem at my end).
AIUI its an, arguably, somewhat skewed statistic as it ignores those where employers don't bother to either provide a scheme or don't make any contribution

Small start-up company pay nothing other than the NI savings on my salary sacrifice to SIPP.

I put in 15% so they put in just over 2%.

Current employer - matched scheme up to 5%. New employer double matched scheme so if I put in 7.5% they will put in 15% (their maximum). One of my reasons for moving jobs

Manufacturing... Zero! I am not bitter at all. I will look forward to the day when they have to do so legally .

Cheers

Ditto - Manufacturing and a big fat zero

Also my last job was manufacturing and again 0%

Any future employer contribution will be set against any potential payrise (which again has been zip for last 4 years). But, hey-ho, at least I have a relatively secure job.

Grateful and small mercies springs to mind.
