Fire Pension Scheme

Contributions

As a member of the FPS 2007, your contribution is based upon a banding arrangement.

The pensionable pay upon which contributions are assessed is the core pay and all permanent emoluments determined by the firefighter's role or, in the case of a principal officer, the salary appropriate to the overall responsibilities of the post. It will also include any retaining allowance paid to a member on a retained duty contract.

The arrangement from 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022.
