Pension schemes

Information about local government, teachers’ and NHS pension schemes.

Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS)

The LGPS provides:

• secure benefits – the scheme provides you with a future income, independent of share prices and stock market fluctuations.
• at a low cost to you – with tax-efficient savings and lower National Insurance contributions for most people under State Pension Age.
• and the council pays in too – your employer meets the balance of the cost of providing your benefits in the LGPS.

Here are the pay bands and contribution rates that apply from 1 April 2026:
