What is AGUK Schedule 2?
This section of the Airbus Pension Schemes remains open to existing members but is no longer open to new members.
Schedule 2 is a Defined Benefit final salary pension scheme and is a tax efficient way to save for your retirement.
How your Defined Benefit is calculated
Your Defined Benefit pension is calculated using the best of three calculation methods:
- Basis 1 – 2% of your Final Pensionable Earnings for each year of Pensionable Service less the Relevant Basic Deduction and the Relevant Earnings Related Deduction.
- Basis 2 – 1.5% of your cumulative Pensionable Earnings over your total Pensionable Service.
- Basis 3 – 17.5% of 3% contributions since joining the Scheme, plus Credited Interest

You may top up your retirement benefits by paying Additional Voluntary Contributions (AVC’s). AVC’s can be used to provide cash or extra pension at retirement.
The total that you pay into the Scheme (your core contributions plus any AVCs) are not allowed to exceed 19% of your gross earnings.
