It can be difficult to visualise the large amounts of money spent by Bristol City Council, so I have calculated how many days of spending one million pounds would cover for specific items.

For example, in 2025 BCC spent **£36,497,535** on Pension Contributions.

£36,497,535 / 365 = **£99,993** (this is how much was spent per day in 2025)

£1,000,000 / £99,993 = **10** (This is the number of days that £1 Million would cover).

This is how I calculated that ****£1 Million paid for 10 Days Pension at Bristol City Council in 2025**.

In 2022, £1M paid for 12.8 days of Pension Contributions.

BCC expect to make £7.2M on Pension Contributions in 2026/2027.

BCC get income from Agency Staff recruitment where they charge for the admin work they do to recruit agency staff. This income will increase, but only if they keep recruiting agency staff.
