Risk-based levy
The most significant of the levies that the Pension Protection Fund (PPF) may raise to fund its operations. The risk-based levy forms part of the pension protection levy. It is calculated according to the PPF's assessment of two factors:
- The risk the sponsoring employer will become insolvent.
- The scheme's underfunding risk.
By law the risk-based levy must comprise no less than 80% of the total pension protection levy. See also scheme-based levy.
