Workers paying more for pensions

Members of final salary pension schemes are having to make higher contributions, according to a report from actuary firm Watson Wyatt.

Members of the 100 largest company pension schemes are now having to contribute on average 5.2% of salary.

Last year, the average member contribution was 4.6% of salary.

Final salary pensions still represent an excellent deal as they can lead to a higher retirement income than money purchase schemes, Watson Wyatt added.

Companies have increased contribution rates in order to ensure that they can fund their final salary schemes in the future.
