How often must I contribute to a pension arrangement?

That is up to you, your employer and the pension provider to decide. You can pay weekly, monthly, and annually or at any other time interval you agree with them. However, extra care must be taken to ensure that if contributions are being made towards the beginning/end of the tax year or pension input period that payments are made in the preferred tax year or pension input period. If they are not you may not receive the desired level of tax relief.
