MSE Poll: What percentage of your salary do you save into a pension?

175 Posts



Poll started 17 July 2018
What percentage of your salary do you save into a pension?
In the last few years up to 10 million more people have started saving into private pensions due to auto-enrolment.
So we wanted to know how much you AND/OR your employer (where relevant) contribute towards your pension.
Please select the CLOSEST option to the total contributions being made to a private pension this tax year.

if you think I'm going to pay money into a scheme that is going to rip me off, think again.
how many times have government backed schemes backfired? far too many
Stocks and shares notoriously are dodgy to invest in. Supposing you just happen to retire when there's yet another big slump? you'll be screwed for years, at least and possibly forever.
No way would I do that.
That's a very generous employer you have there!
I know there's many options obviously, P2P lending, property, stamp collecting etc.
Just curious.
When I was contributing, I saved 11% of my salary and my employer put in their maximum of 8%
I pay 8% into my DB Scheme and 25% into my DC Scheme
Total of 52% of my salary currently going into my pension.
I want to retire early lol
