Pension Investment Limits

Employees can pay up to a total of 15% of their earnings each tax year as either a contribution to their company pension scheme or as additional voluntary contributions (AVCs) or a combination of both.

Since the advent of A-Day (6 April 2006) the regime has become more flexible. Now, anyone can contribute to any number of pension schemes as long as the total contributions do not exceed 100% of their annual earnings, up to a limit of £235,000 (for the 2008/09 tax year).
