    1) refers to nation minmum wage.


    Your employer has to pay you minimum way by law, so if doing salary sacrifice you must receive this.
    As your a high earner might not be an issue in your case.


    If for example someone earned £40K per annum, they cannot salary sacrifce £40K as they have to received minimum wage, so their contribution limit would be more like £27.5K.

    I don't think this will apply as basic is £80k.

    Thanks is there a way of easily working out if I was going to go over the £40k AA?

    I am still not 100% sure of what the downside to doing this is, is it just that you lose tax relief?

    I can log in to my company pension account and see all the contributions. Otherwise I think you have to just do the calculations.
