Contribution Rates
Before 1 April 2008, the standard contribution rate was 6% for all employees except a few protected manual workers who paid 5%. From 1 April 2008 the rate payable depends on earnings. These earnings are deemed to be the whole time equivalent unless you work term-time. For term-time employees the whole time rate is scaled down by the number of weeks worked. Contribution rates applicable from time to time are shown below.
