The product

One change, understood from both sides.

The common employee journey asks for salary and a proposed contribution. Tax codes, loans, payroll details and minimum-wage controls stay in advanced settings. The employer works with anonymous salary bands and headcounts, while the consultancy keeps a governed policy configuration and a repeatable delivery process.

Employee answer

Show whether regular and bonus pension sacrifice exceeds the announced annual exemption, then explain the estimated employee NI and take-home impact.
