The DBP Contributors Scheme is a defined benefit scheme. The benefits payable by your scheme are guaranteed by the Crown.

Each year the Board's Actuary carries out a review of the scheme to determine an employer contribution rate sufficient to meet the accrued and future liabilities of the scheme. The rate is being reviewed as at 31 March 2026 and any change will be implemented from 1 April 2027.

The investment return (after tax and operating expenses) earned by the scheme for the year ended 31 March 2026 was 1.05% (2025: 3.05%).
