I just got paid and they have deducted about 110,000 for pension and 70,000 for medical insurance. Does this sound about right?

depends on your salary.

Pension is about 4.5%.
Medical is a hair under 3%.

Salary is around 2.4 mil?

Roundabouts yep. In past years I have been lucky to escape many (or any) deductions, so Im not too clued up on this one. Much higher than I was expecting though!

If you've "escaped" deductions in the past for pension, you should probably set aside enough money to bring that current once the Pension Office stumbles onto your account. They'll not only require you to make the payments you've missed but they also have the authority to enforce compliance.
