How does it work?

Managing your pension contributions doesn’t have to be complicated. Here’s what you need to know about contributions, tax relief and annual limits.

You contribute

Make one-off payments or set up monthly personal contributions to your PensionBee pension. You can pay into multiple pensions at a time - including your workplace pension and any other private pensions - up to an annual limit*.

You get free tax top ups

Most basic rate tax payers will get a 25% tax top up from HMRC for all eligible contributions - which we’ll claim for you. That means £100 in your pension would be topped up by £25 bringing the total contribution to £125. Higher and additional rate taxpayers can usually claim back extra tax relief via a Self-Assessment.

Your employer contributes

If you’re enrolled into a workplace pension, usually your employer adds money to your pension too. You can ask them to pay directly into your PensionBee pension instead.

Work for yourself?

If you’re the director of a limited company, you can make both personal and employer contributions to your pension. Company contributions may be considered an allowable business expense and could save you money on your tax bill.

*Don’t forget your limits - the current standard annual allowance for pension contributions (including personal, employer and third party) is £60,000 (2025/26). There’s a separate limit on tax relief. Most eligible savers can get tax relief on personal and third party contributions up to 100% of their salary, capped at £60,000. Tax relief isn’t applied to employer contributions.

Combine old workplace pensions

If you have old pensions from previous jobs, why not transfer them to your PensionBee pension? With all your savings in one place, it could be easier to manage and you might save on fees you’re paying across multiple providers.
