Almost all employers pay substantial sums into the Pension Fund and the amounts vary greatly. There are a number of reasons for this but the main ones are:

 Some employers decided to pay more money in to the Fund in previous years so they could reduce their payments later on. Some employers paid less in previous years which means their payments are now higher.

 Each employer joined the Pension Fund at a different time. Contributions are invested in financial markets (such as the Stock Exchange) but if an employer joined the Fund when investments weren’t performing very well their contributions would have to be increased in later years to compensate.

 Some employers don’t let new employees join the LGPS which usually means they have to pay much more into the Pension Fund to pay off any deficit they may have.

How does this compare to what you pay? Have a look at the table below.
