Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what is the (a) mean and (b) median (i) cash and (ii) percentage (1) employer and (2) employment contribution to the Local Government Pension Scheme in England.

As the LGPS is a locally managed scheme, the Department does not publish statistics on employer or employee contribution rates.

The LGPS Scheme Advisory Board published an analysis of the 2025 Fund valuations in July 2026, which stated the mean contribution rate across all employers for the three years 2026-27 to 2028-29 as 16.5% of pensionable pay per annum, and the mean employee contribution rate in 2024-25 as 6.5%.
