Put more into my BA pension

For all service after 1 April 2007, the standard rate at which your pension builds up is 60 (for both Flight Staff and Ground Staff). All this means is that, when we work out your annual pension for future service from 1 April 2007, we multiply your Pensionable service by your Retiring pay and then divide by 60.

You can change rates once a year on 1 July by completing the NAPS options form.

BAMPS

You can invest up to 30% of your Gross taxable pay in your individual retirement account. More contributions from you mean more from BA (up to 8% of Pensionable pay). So, let's say you put in 8% and BA adds 8%, you have a total of 16% of Pensionable pay going into your account each month.

And that's not all – you can pay more on top of the 8%, either to the Scheme or to an Additional Voluntary Contribution (AVC) fund. Put more on top of my BA pension.
