Let’s learn the difference between the State Pension and Workplace Pension in the UK 🇬🇧

👉 State Pension
A regular payment from the government once you reach State Pension age, based on your National Insurance record.

👉 Workplace Pension
A pension scheme set up by your employer. Both you and your employer contribute, and you get tax relief too.
