Pension Allowance - Final Salary Pension

[ny_rk]

Hi

I have a few pensions from previous jobs. One pension is a final salary pension that's index linked. I'm trying to figure out how much of my annual pension allowance of 50K this final salary pension eats up. I want to top up my current employer pension but am wary of exceeding my limits....any help is welcome...

Thanks

You need to calculate the increase in your pension from last year to this minus the inflation linked component, and then multiply it by 16. Your pension administrator can tell you exactly what you have used. You are also able to carry forward unused allowances from the last 3 years.
