Hi All,

Hope you are well. I will be eligible to apply for my ILR via the Tier 2 5 year route next year. My gross income meets the minimum salary threshold, but falls under this after taking into account:

- Employee Pension Contributions
- Salary Sacrifice Employee Share Purchase Scheme Contributions (This is an opt-in scheme which enables employees to purchase company shares)

These deductions are shown clearly in my payslip, but I am worried that as it affects my net pay significantly (and thus the amount showed on my bank statement) it could impact my application. Has anyone else been in a similar experience in the past? If so, can you please share your experiences?

Thank you so much!

Kind Regards,

Shouldn't be a problem IMO. ILR pay threshold is set as gross income not net.

Pension contributions are same as getting paid and putting some of the money aside in savings, share contributions are same as getting paid and then investing some of the money in shares.
