Defined Benefit Pension Input Amount

Help Sheet

A Defined Benefit scheme will usually be a Final Salary scheme or a Career Average Revalued Earnings (CARE) scheme;

  • A Final Salary scheme calculates the retirement pension based upon the (final) pensionable salary at retirement (which could be averaged over a number of final years), divided by the scheme accrual rate, and multiplied by the amount of pensionable service.

 

  • A CARE scheme calculates the retirement pension each year based upon pensionable salary for thar year divided by the scheme accrual rate. Each year, the pension is added to the amount that has already built up which is revalued/indexed each year.

 

The amount of pension savings/Pension Input Amount under a Defined Benefits arrangement is the increase in the value of the individual’s promised benefits over the Pension Input Period (PIP).

The increase is the difference between the value of the individual’s benefits immediately before the start of the PIP (the opening value) and the value of the individual’s benefits at the end of the PIP (the closing value).

If the difference is a negative amount for a PIP then the individual’s pension savings (or Pension Input Amount) for the arrangement is usually £0 for that PIP.

However, the budget on 15 March 2023 announced that open and closed public sector schemes would be considered linked so as to enable any negative growth in any legacy public sector schemes to be offset against growth in reformed schemes.

The Defined Benefit Pension Input Amount calculator will provide an indication of the opening value and the closing value to determine the Pension Input Amount for a selected tax year.

This is calculated either by the input of;

– the individual’s benefits, or

– details of the individual’s pensionable salary, service and scheme accrual rate.

The calculation assumes no adjustments need to be made to the client’s closing value as, during the PIP, they have not had any transfers in or out, benefit crystallisation events (BCEs), pension debits or pension credits, or reduction in benefits because the scheme has paid an annual allowance charge for the client.
