Contribution limits
There is no limit on the amount of pension contributions you can pay. You will only get tax relief on:
- contributions up to 100% of your UK taxable earnings
- up to £3,600 if your earnings are below £3,600.
There are HM Revenue and Customs limits on the pension savings you can have before you have to pay extra tax. Most people will not be affected by these limits but if you are considering paying additional contributions you should be aware of them. You are more likely to be affected if you are a higher earner or if you pay a large amount of extra contributions in a year. See the section on Tax to find out more.
