|---|---|---|
| £100 | £72.00 | 72p in the pound |
| £250 | £180.00 | 72p in the pound |
| £500 | £360.00 | 72p in the pound |
Pension rates and student loan plans
Pension contributions come off before tax, so putting in more costs you less than the full amount. Student loans work differently, taking a percentage of what you earn over each plan’s threshold.

| 3% into a pension | £2,219.78 |
| 5% into a pension | £2,184.10 |
| 8% into a pension | £2,130.58 |
| Plan 1 student loan | £2,227.55 |
| Plan 2 student loan | £2,246.22 |
| Plan 5 student loan | £2,213.30 |
