Reason I am asking isnt because im about to start a pension scheme (as im still in Uni, no income!)....though I will as soon as i get a fulltime job.

Was trying to compare it to the RAF Pension scheme, which as far as I can realisticly work out, you would be on between £10k/yr-£25k depending on length of service and promitions etc.....as well as a 3xPension Salary lump sum on retirrement (say 3x£10k or whatever).

In theory, after 16yr service, I would be say 40ish, and retire with a 30k lump sum and £10k/yr for life form then on.

Was trying to compare it to what people in normal jobs have? (Hence asking how much youd need).

Bit sad maybe! But thought Id look into it all (as im thinking of joining RAF if they will have me after uni...)
