Building up your alpha pension

When you combine your member and employer contributions, your pension grows fast. Say you earn between £23,101 and £45,500 – you contribute 5.45% of your salary, while your employer chips in a generous 27.1%.

In simple terms, for every £1 you put in, your employer adds nearly £5. 💰
