📋Présentation+
Calculates the tax relief on UK pension contributions for 2025/26: 20% at source plus higher/additional-rate relief via Self Assessment, against the £60,000 Annual Allowance (tapered above £260,000 adjusted income to a £10,000 floor).
💡 Bonnes pratiques

- Unused allowance can be carried forward up to three years.
🔢 Exemple concret
A higher-rate taxpayer making a £10,000 gross personal pension contribution: £2,000 is basic-rate relief at source (you pay £8,000 net), and a further £2,000 (20%) is reclaimed via Self Assessment — total relief £4,000, a net cost of £6,000 for £10,000 in the pension.
