Salary Exchange is a system where when employees convert part of their salary into a pension, National Insurance Contributions (NIC) from both the employee and employer are not applied to the converted amount. As a result, employees see an increase in their monthly take-home pay by the amount of reduced employee NIC, and employers also benefit from savings equal to the reduced employer NIC.
Pros
Take-home pay increases.
Cons
Nominal salary decreases, which may affect eligibility for income-based loans or benefits.
