Have just setup payroll in Quickbooks online, payroll ok but pension calculation has been worked out at 3.595% even though emp cont setup at 5%-anyone know how to fix?

Hello, karen35.

The type of taxation method selected can also affect the pension calculations. You might want to run the employee’s settings again and double check this information. For further information, please refer to the set up workplace pension section in this article: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/community/Employees-and-Payroll/Workplace-pensions-in-QuickBooks-Online-Payroll/m-p/242927
