What changes this most?
Pension contributions reduce spendable pay today while increasing retirement saving; the exact tax treatment depends on how your salary-sacrifice arrangement operates.
Sensitivity check
A roughly 10% move in gross annual salary changes the modeled headline result by up to £3,420 in this setup.
