If someone is enrolled in NEST an employer has to match whatever the employee chooses to pay in each month.

The Spanish system does appear on your figures to be a much more enticing deal.

It did not suggest anything so why did you jump and come out with an average? His state pension will be as I said it was and your second paragraph is bollox in that there’s no real difference. Of course there’s a fkin difference if the pension is based on what an employee earns and how much therefore the employer must contribute. This is not rocket science to understand but yes the average might be 11,000 per year but who was talking about averages. He’s not a street cleaner for f uck sake!
