Teachers’ Pension Contribution Band increase

05/04/2019 Racheal Smith

You may be a little lighter in your salary after April 1st, 2019.  The contribution rates for your Teachers’ Pension Scheme are going to increase by 2.4%, which is a significant sum each month.  This is in-line with the 2.4% rise in the Consumer Price Index in September 2018, which is directly linked to a teachers’ pension.

Here are the expected member contribution rates.

Eligible Employment from 1 April 2018 – 31 March 2019 Annual Salary Rate for the Eligible Employment from 1 April 2019 Member Contribution Rate
Up to £27,047.99  Up to £27,697.99  7.4%
£27,048 to £36,410.99 £27,698 to £37,284.99  8.6%
£36,411 to£43,171.99 £37,285 to £44,208.99  9.6%
£43,172 to £57,216.99 £44,209 to £58,590.99  10.2%
£57,217 to £78,022.99 £58,591 to £79,895.99  11.3%
£78,023 and above £79,896 and above  11.7%

Although at the highest salaries, with the most significant contribution percentage, the changes will be less than a thousand pounds over a year, this is still a considerable sum.  You may wish to consider the impact on your incomings and outgoings to ensure you continue to feel financially secure.
