The matching is usually done with a maximum percentage of your salary.
Some employers might offer 3%, for example.
So if at that company you earn £24,000, pay 10% into your pension each month (£200), the company contributes £60, and you don’t pay income tax on the money that went to the pension (probably £40 savings).
Which means that if you decide to just take the money instead, you’d only see £160 instead of £260 in your pension.
