Contributory Pension Scheme
Roles and practices paying above the minimum into your pension. What to ask, and how to compare it across offers.
Knowledge
Contributory pensions, in plain terms.
A contributory pension scheme means both you and the practice pay into your pension. The employer share is deferred pay, and differences of a few percent matter a great deal over a career.
UK auto-enrolment sets a floor, but many practices contribute above it, and some scale contributions with service or seniority. It is one of the easiest benefits to compare numerically across offers.
This hub gathers the roles and practices advertising contributory pension schemes as part of their offer.
- It is real money

- It is negotiable
Ask the actual employer percentage and whether it rises with service or seniority.
- It signals intent
Schemes above the statutory minimum signal a practice investing in retention.
