Just wondering what % everyone pays into their work pension?
My employer sets us up at 5% but I'm debating increasing this..

Currently paying in 11% & employer puts in 5%. I started paying into a pension scheme at the age of 21 & have always paid more than the minimum. I'm 54 now & will comfortably be able to retire at 60 & possibly 2-3 years earlier then that.0

At the moment 3% but after 12months service (currently at 4months) they increase to 10%0

I pay 3% of my income above the qualifying earnings of £6,136 and my employer pay in 5%. I used to pay 17% of my earnings on top into my personal pension but reduced it to 8% as I am focusing on paying off the debts. So 16% overall.0

75% of full salary via salary sacrifice in the 3 years prior to early retirement.0

I pay 8% & my work pay 14%. I'm 37 & this is my only DC scheme. I paid into a DB for 10 years until it was closed & transferred its replacement DC pension (3 years worth) into my current works DC when I moved jobs.
It's salary sacrifice, so I'll be upping my contribution to 10% when the annual payrise comes round next year. Works will stay at 14%.
I also pay £200 a month into a LISA. I'd get more for my money if I Sal Sac this into the pension but I want to build as much flexibility as I can for tax free income in retirement (aiming for 60) & I can only pay into a LISA for another 13 years.
I'll increase my pension payments once I get to 50, when the LISA payments will stop & my mortgage will be gone.0 -
