Final salary pension ending

Therese1

Please be kind....my head is screwed on but not with pensions!!

My employer is closing our final salary pension and going to a cash-builder one( I don't fully understand it all!)

I am 46 and have 24 years on the original scheme and for the last 5 years paid 5% contribution ...
New scheme starts in 6 months time. My contrib will remain employer will pay 12%.

I appreciate I need to sit down and work out properly but just seeing if you guys can point me to ideas...

Is there any point in me paying anything into the scheme in the next 6 months to boost the final salary pot? This could be lump or monthly... I have savings earning virtually nothing just now!!

What about after the new system??

I would like to go to 4 days per week...will it make a big difference if I do this before the changeover?

Any other things I should consider....

Many thanks!
