How to increase contributions
Increasing regular contributions is easy. Simply select the Royal London product your client has, to discover how.
To set up or increase regular contributions, we need a minimum of 10 calendar days between the date you submit the application and the requested collection date.
Collection date example
If you want the first regular contribution to be paid on Friday 27 March 2026, we must receive the application no later than Monday 16 March 2026.
This assumes that we receive all the information we need and the anti-money laundering checks are completed successfully.
If the requested collection date is missed, the regular contribution will be paid on the next scheduled date (27 April 2026).
Plans set up before 2 December 2024
Easily increase regular contributions using our personal pension submission portal.

We can accept:

Workplace pensions
To increase regular contributions, employees need to contact their employer.
The employer will need to update payroll, then notify our Corporate Servicing team about the change in contribution. Details of your client's Corporate Servicing contact can be found on our online service.
We'll send out documents to the employee by post once we've applied the change.
