    Broadly speaking , if you are not working the maximum you can pay into a pension is £2.8 K PA.

    A SIPP would be an expensive option for such a small annual contribution. A Stakeholder pension is probably a better option for you. As a non earner this would allow you to invest up to £2880 directly yourself and then have it topped up to £3600 by the taxman.
