Repayments
Got a question about Repayments? You've come to the right place.

Answer:
If you have less than two years qualifying service (or less than 5 years before 5 April 1988), you can claim a repayment of your contributions. You won’t receive the same amount of the contributions you've paid in as a repayment, as deductions for tax and National Insurance will be made.
Repayments can only be made if you’re a deferred member or if you’ve opted out of the Teachers’ Pension Scheme.

Answer:
The amount you will be repaid will be the contributions you’ve paid into the Teachers' Pension Scheme together with compound interest added at 3% per annum. Two sets of deductions will be made: one to secure your benefits in the State Pension Scheme and the other for tax. This is depending on whether you were a member prior to 6 April 2016, as membership was contracted in thereafter.
