Why am I seeing this message?
You’re seeing this message because the system is designed to help you stay within the legal limits for pension contributions.
- You won’t be able to choose pension contribution levels that would exceed your Annual Allowance
- In some cases, if you’ve been automatically enrolled into a pension level that exceeds your allowance or the scheme default, your selection may be restricted
Other factors that may affect your ability to update your pension contributions include:
- Changes to your salary
- Changes to your pension contribution level (for example, after a promotion)
- Updates to the Annual Allowance limit
If any of the above apply, you may not be able to edit your pension selection through the portal.
What does this mean for me?
These restrictions are in place to prevent you from exceeding your Annual Allowance, which could result in additional tax charges.
If you believe your selection needs to be changed, you may need to contact your HR or benefits team for further guidance.
