If you’re working you may still need to pay National Insurance contributions until...

Hi My pension forecast states that 'if you contribute another 2 years before 5 April 2041' you'll receive £xx per week. However, my pension isn't forecast to start until 2041. It states that: "You cannot improve your forecast any further, unless you choose to put off claiming. If you’re working you may still need to pay National Insurance contributions until xx Month 2041 as they fund other state benefits and the NHS." My question is, what are the criteria to determine if I will indeed need to continue to pay NI conts when I have paid my full contributions within the next 2 years? Thanks DawnP

Hi,

Anyone in the UK over 16 and under State Pension Age who works and earns enough is required to pay National Insurance contributions regardless of whether or not these will increase entitlement to any benefit, including State Pension.

Thank you.
