About the Tapered Annual Allowance

The tapered annual allowance reduces the amount you can contribute to your pension each year if you have a high income. Here's how it works:

  • Standard annual allowance is £60,000 (2023/24)
  • If your threshold income is over £200,000 and adjusted income is over £260,000, your allowance is reduced
  • The reduction is £1 for every £2 your adjusted income exceeds £260,000
  • The minimum tapered allowance is £10,000
  • Excess contributions are taxed at your marginal rate of income tax
