For any given tax year, the law allows you to contribute an amount equal to 18% of your income from the previous year. Always try to contribute your maximum.
If you have not contributed your maximum in previous years, you have unused contribution room, which you may now use, particularly worth considering if you have come into an unexpected windfall. You can even borrow money to compensate for your unused contribution room.
