Romilla, I’m not sure what dates you are using for PBS calculator - Tier 1 initial application. I understand that you entered UK on dependent visa in 2009. If you try entering date for initial Tier 1 application any date after Apr 2010, it might award points for the bachelor’s degree. Note that prio...

Don’t get your self confused mate. As per my understanding, employer’s contribution to Pension will not be considered in gross pay. But your contribution will be considered. E.g.
