Does my pension contribution reduce take-home on £75,000?
Yes. Auto-enrolment requires a minimum 5% employee contribution on qualifying earnings (roughly £6,240–£50,270.00 band), which your employer matches with at least 3%. On £75,000 this means roughly £2,202.00 per year from your pay. Because pension contributions are made before income tax, they also reduce your tax bill, so the real cost to your take-home is less than the headline 5%.
