Qualifying earnings band: £6,240 to £50,270 annually for 2026/27.

Workplace Pension Schemes
Workplace pension schemes are set up by employers for eligible staff. They are commonly money purchase schemes, where retirement savings are linked to contributions and investment performance.
Personal Pension Schemes
Personal pensions are private pension arrangements. They can be useful for self-employed individuals or people who want to contribute outside a workplace pension.
Pension Tax Relief
Tax relief can apply to pension contributions, but the method and amount depend on the scheme type, income level and individual circumstances.
Pension Contributions and Tax Relief
Pension tax relief can help make retirement saving more tax efficient. The way relief is applied depends on the pension scheme, contribution method and individual income position.
Employers should also make sure pension contributions are processed correctly through payroll and recorded properly. We can help with the payroll and record-keeping side, while regulated pension advice should be taken where personal financial advice is needed.

Pension Auto Enrolment FAQs
Common questions about workplace pensions, auto enrolment and employer pension duties.
Yes. Employers usually have workplace pension duties from the day their first member of staff starts work. Duties can include assessing staff, enrolling eligible workers, making contributions and keeping records.
Workers are usually automatically enrolled if they are aged between 22 and State Pension age, work in the UK and earn over the automatic enrolment earnings trigger.
The automatic enrolment earnings trigger is £10,000 for 2026/27. Employers should check the current threshold and assess workers based on pay reference periods.
For many qualifying schemes, the minimum total contribution is 8% of qualifying earnings, including at least 3% from the employer. Different scheme rules can apply depending on how pensionable pay is defined.
Yes. Employees can opt out. If they opt out within the opt-out period, contributions are usually refunded. If they opt out later, contributions already paid usually remain invested in the pension.
You should check whether your existing scheme meets automatic enrolment requirements. If it does not, you may need to change the scheme or take further action.
Self-employed people are not automatically enrolled by an employer. They may still choose to arrange a personal pension and seek independent financial advice where appropriate.
