Pension % in payslip is totally different percentage to scheme set-up- this is not the 5% gross, 4% net difference.

Hello, HeadAngel.

You might want to check the taxation method that was selected. This can affect the pension calculation on the employee’s payslip. 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

If it’s still not calculating correctly after checking the settings, I’d recommend contacting the support team for further investigation:
