Understanding your pay

Pension contributions

Contributions

The information below refers to the Local Government Pension Scheme.  For other schemes please see the links below.

You pay pensions contributions on all your pensionable pay at a rate determined by your contractual pensionable pay.

You pay contributions at the applicable rate on all pensionable pay received in respect of that job (or at half that rate if you are in the 50/50 section).

If you are a casual employee your contribution rate will be based on the pensionable pay you receive in a particular month multiplied by 12. Your pension contribution could change each month.

You can find the latest band information here.

For further information, for example additional voluntary contributions, retirement benefits etc. see the link below.
