KembaraXtra- Financial Terms- additional voluntary contributions (AVCs) refer to extra pension contributions made by employees to increase their retirement benefits.


Employees may contribute additional amounts either into their employer’s pension scheme or into a separate arrangement known as a free-standing AVC scheme.


The purpose of AVCs is to build larger retirement savings and improve future pension income beyond the standard benefits provided by the main pension plan.


In the United Kingdom, AVCs often receive tax concessions, making them attractive as a long-term retirement savings strategy.


Additional voluntary contributions provide employees with greater flexibility and control over retirement planning and future financial security.
