I have two jobs. I started one in October 2022 and my basic pay is £237 per week since the minimum wage increase of April 2023. I have a second job which I started in May 2023 earns me £48 per week. Occasionally I have NI deducted from my pay of my main job as bank holidays are double pay but often my wage is under the threshold. Will 2023-2024 be a qualifying year in regards to my state pension? The combined pay for both jobs means I earn over the minimum even though I am not being deducted pay for contributions?

Hi Tintin567 Lambden,
National Insurance (NI) is collected on individual pay frequencies if your earnings are above thresholds.
You can check your individual payslips in 2023/24 each time to see the National Insurance you pay any and your employer pays for you using the link to the NI calculator.
National Insurance
Jobs are not combined for National Insurance through pay as you earn, only if you pay NI this is totalled for the tax year to ensure you don’t exceed the maximum.
Thank you.
