Even though that the pension in Jersey already is high compared to the UK, an increase has been announced for this upcoming Autumn (2011) by about 2.5%. The  increase of 4.48 GBP results in 184.45 GBP per week for single pensioners and to 306.25 GBP per week for married couples pensions.

Jersey pensions are thereby 82.3 GBP higher per week than the UK pension, which is at only 102.15 GBP per week. In a year the difference in pensions between the Jersey pension and the UK pension is close to 4300 GBP.

The  pensioners in Jersey can enjoy a whopping 80% higher pension than the pensioners in the UK. With this said, to all people in the UK: Do not forget to save for your own private pension if you can! You will need the money.
