Case studies

If employees increase their regular pension contributions, even by small incremental amounts, it could make a big difference to their pension savings at retirement. These case studies show the difference a small annual increase could make. 

Choose a case study with a salary close to the amount your employee earns. You can then email them a copy to demonstrate the impact increasing their pension contributions could have over a long period of time.

Take care to choose the right case study - some are for employees who pay their pension contributions using salary exchange and some are for those who get tax relief at source. (This means their contributions are taken after their wages are taxed.)

Employees may not realise the tax benefits to be had if they pay their bonus directly into their pension. These case studies show the difference exchanging their bonus for a pension contribution could make.

You could send our case studies by email ahead of a bonus pay day to help employees understand the potential benefits.
