Why is my Pension Input more than last year?

Page 10 of your Benefit Statement shows the actual calculation for your Pension Input, it is the difference between your pension accrued to 5 April 2025 increased in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and your accrued pension as at 5 April 2026.

As CPI for the 2025/26 tax year was 1.7% this means that your Pension Input for the year may well be higher than previous years.
