Your company contributes pre-tax
A £50,000 employer contribution to a SSAS typically saves your company £12,500–£13,250 in Corporation Tax in the year it is paid. The full amount goes into your pension; the saving stays with the business.
Most company directors pay more Corporation Tax than they need to. This free calculator shows you the gap — based on your profit and HMRC's own SSAS pension allowance. Takes under a minute.

Trading profit - last year's figure, this year's estimate, or a projection.
Each director's contribution capacity is calculated separately.

HMRC lets you carry forward up to 3 years of unused pension allowance - but only if you were a member of a registered scheme in those years. Three quick questions per director.
We will not show a saving until each director's eligibility is confirmed - HMRC requires registered scheme membership in each year you carry forward from.
Director-by-director assumptions, HMRC references, and a worked example you can share with your accountant.

Estimate based on current HMRC rules (2025/26 tax year). Wholly-and-exclusively test, scheme acceptance, and your individual allowance situation may change the actual figure. Pension contributions must be paid (not accrued) in your accounting period to qualify. TLPI is a tax planning specialist, not FCA-regulated. SSAS pensions are exempt from FCA regulation.
Three things happen when you contribute to a SSAS - each one builds on the last.
A £50,000 employer contribution to a SSAS typically saves your company £12,500–£13,250 in Corporation Tax in the year it is paid. The full amount goes into your pension; the saving stays with the business.
Money inside the SSAS grows free of income tax and capital gains tax. Trustees can hold commercial property, lend to your business, or invest as you and your fellow trustees decide.
Up to 50% of your fund can be lent back to your company at HMRC-approved rates (currently base rate + 1%). Your pension earns the interest; your company gets working capital.
