Your Universal Credit award is based on your joint circumstances as a couple, and your partners pension deduction will be a big factor in your calculation.
Their pension counts as unearned income and so is deducted in full pound for pound.
Perhaps you could ask for a second calculation, to see if it comes out the same.
