Example
Salary of GBP 60,000 versus stronger pension contribution
A worked example showing how pension value can change a pay decision even when immediate take-home is lower.
Scenario
One role offers GBP 60,000 with standard pension terms. Another offers slightly less cash but a stronger employer pension contribution and salary sacrifice flexibility.
What to notice
The higher cash figure may win on immediate take-home, but the pension-heavy option can still be a serious contender. This is a good example of why take-home and long-term value need to be considered together.
Practical use
Start with the job offer comparison calculator for cash terms, then test contribution changes with the salary sacrifice calculator.
