I'm not sure I understand (but then I'm not an expert).
If it;s a final salary pension as your thread title suggests, then surely the pension payment is linked to how much he earns and not how much he contributes, which will be fixed ?
You;d need to look into how the scheme defines ' final salary' (some schemes take the average or best over the last few years before retirement) and see if there is anything you can do to maximise the value.0 -

The title says fina salary, this may be something completely different from a final salary pension.
