Request

Please supply data regarding the following:-

1. The EMPLOYER Contribution of Pensionable Pay rate between 2008 and 2025.

2. The EMPLOYEE Contribution of Pensionable Pay rate for earnings under £25,000 between 2008 and 2025.

Please list each percentage rate for each year under two columns specifying both EMPLOYER and EMPLOYEE.

Response

I can confirm that the NHSBSA holds the information you have requested, and a copy of the information is attached.

Please be advised that we were unable to format the data as requested. This is because the employer contribution rate remains constant, regardless of the scheme member’s pensionable pay. In contrast, the employee contribution rate is variable, as it is directly linked to the member’s pensionable earnings.
