  • For most people the main benefit is that employers make a contribution into pension and this is free money.

  • My missus has this - hers matches her contribs up to a percent.

    Mine seems less good - they share 50% of their Employer NI savings:

    "For instance, if you chose to sacrifice £100 per month the total amount paid into your pension scheme per month is £106.90. (£100.00 x 13.8% / 2 = £106.90)"

    I guess that's not insubstantial if you're contributing a decent amount of time.

  • they share 50% of their Employer NI savings:

    Wow, that's remarkably ungenerous.

  • For instance, if you chose to sacrifice £100 per month the total amount paid into your pension scheme per month is £106.90. (£100.00 x 13.8% / 2 = £106.90)"

    This might be obvious but you're sacrificing pre tax income. So if you pay 40% marginal tax, you are sacrificing (£60 minus whatever the employees NI is) to get the £106.90.
