Edit: stupid typo in the title. 2103 is 77 years away. I mean post-2013 :D

I am curious about the amount paid for the new Vs the old pension

I am pre-2013 and I pay:

1.5% of basic pay (Surv)

1.5% of basic pay (Lump sum)

3.5% of net pensionable pay

10%/10.5% ASC

I looked up the rates for the post-2013 pension. I could have these wrong.

3% basic pay

3.33%/3.5% ASC

This week my Pension payments were around 9% of my basic pay.

If I was on the new scheme I'd pay about 4.5% towards my pension.

My calculations show that if I was on the new scheme my pay would be around €50 higher per week.

I think I'd prefer to be on the old pension all the same.

I am just curious if my home-made excel calculator is accurate? Post-2013 civil servant, do you pay around 4.5% towards your pension, and pre-2023, do your figures broadly line up with mine?

I made a calculator that gives me my pay brolen down into all its deductions and the pension amounts etc. I had a problem where I was overpaid so needed to make a lot of calculations on what I owed back so it's been handy to have this document.

Thanks

Hi,

My Open Fit2+ do not perform the function in the title for a couple of seconds.

I'll hit rewind and it won't do it for possibly 3 or 4 seconds. It's very frustrating as you are trying to pause to speak to someone and it keeps playing.

I've never had this issue with other Bluetooth headphones/earphones.

I feel like it might be an issue with my Bluetooth connection rather than the Shokz but I wonder if anyone else has had this issue with their Shokz of any model, or with other Bluetooth audio device?

Thank you for your help.
