Pension basics

How much can I contribute to my pension?

We currently allow you to contribute up to £60,000 per year into your Moneybox Pension. However, you should be aware that there are limits to the level of contributions that attract tax relief. You can benefit from tax relief on up to 100% of your earnings each year on contributions across all your pension schemes, provided you don’t exceed the annual allowance (£60,000). 

For those earning less than £3,600, you can still contribute £2,880 to your pension, totalling £3,600 with tax relief applied. 

Contributions include everything you pay into your pension, your employer’s contributions and any tax relief top-ups from the government. 

Refer to our article “What is pension tax relief” for more detail on the different limits that can apply.

It's important you know

Capital at risk. All investing should be for the longer term. The value of your investments can go up and down, and you may get back less than you invest. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future.

A 25% government penalty applies if you withdraw money from a Lifetime ISA for any reason other than buying your first home (up to £450,000) or for retirement, and you may get back less than you paid into your Lifetime ISA.

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

Payments you make into your pension won’t be accessible until the minimum pension age (currently 55, increasing to age 57 from 2028). Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future.

For Business Saver: T&Cs apply. Max one withdrawal per day.
