Choose how much you’d like to contribute

Decide how much to contribute from £8 to £138 per pay period, or up to 10% of your pre-tax pay if this is lower. You can stop, start or change your contribution at any time via the share plans portal.

Shares are purchased on your behalf

Your contributions are taken directly from your pre-tax pay and used to buy Sainsbury's shares at the market price. Only whole shares are bought, any money left over will be rolled over to your next purchase.

Shares are held in Trust

Your shares are held in Trust on your behalf by MUFG Corporate Markets Trustees (UK) Limited. You can sell anytime, but selling within five years may mean you pay Income Tax and NI.

After five years, you can sell your shares without paying Income Tax and NI.
