Pension pay dates

If you receive a pension from the Berkshire Pension Fund (Local Government Pension Scheme) you will receive your pension through a direct payment into your bank account.

Regular payments are made into your bank account or building society account on the last working day of the month.

The payment dates for the next 12 months are listed below:

• Tuesday 30 September 2025
• Friday 31 October 2025
• Friday 28 November 2025
• Wednesday 31 December 2025
• Friday 30 January 2026

• Thursday 30 April 2026
• Friday 29 May 2026
• Tuesday 30 June 2026
• Friday 31 July 2026

Please note these pay dates apply to UK bank accounts only. If you have your pension paid into an overseas bank account it may arrive a few days after the pay date quoted above. 

December Pay Day

In previous years we paid your pension slightly earlier in December, however since 2024 your December payment is made to your account on the last working day of the month in line with the rest of the year. 

Will I receive a monthly payslip?

You can view your monthly payslips via your online account ‘my pension ONLINE’.

As you will be aware historically we have posted a payslip to you if your monthly net pension payment has changed by more than £1 from the previous month. With effect from April 2025 we will no longer produce printed payslips. However we will continue to upload your payslips on a monthly basis to your online account. 

Your monthly payslips and annual P60 information is available to view via your online account - please visit our my pension ONLINE section for details of how to register.

We have produced a guide to viewing your monthly payslip online.
