Probably the handiest way is to look at your pay slip and calculate what the percentage your superann deduction is of your gross salary for the relevant period. Subtract that from 15% - it will probably be somewhere around 10-11%.I'm aware that due to my age I am currently limited to contributing 15% of gross salary per annum. As I currently contribute 3% of my gross salary and 3.5% of my net pensionable salary, what annual percentage do I have left to work with it? Is it 12% or less?
Is it advisable to look at setting up a more straightforward AVC scheme through Cornmarket or look into an execution only PRSA AVC that I would have to pay via direct debit and claim back relief through ROS? Is it possible for my employer to account for a PRSA AVC through my wages in order to streamline the process?
I have reviewed my payslips. 3% of my gross salary is deducted as 'Lump Sum Pension '13. In addition, approx 0.8% of my gross salary is deducted as 'Personal Pension' which appears to be calculated from 3.5% of my net pensionable salary, accounting for the contributory state pension. If I take it that I am paying roughly 3.8% of my gross salary into the SPSPS that leaves me with with approx 11% as you suggested.Probably the handiest way is to look at your pay slip and calculate what the percentage your superann deduction is of your gross salary for the relevant period.

You could work it out long-hand and confirm your current pension contributions at the same time.Thanks for the response.

Whereas the 8.5% suggested by GSheehy looks to be calculated from (15% - 3% - 3.5%)?
Sorry if anything is unclear, I am only recently familiarising myself with how the SPSPS works
