Start of state pension

State pension is paid every four weeks. I qualify for my pension of £200 per week on 18 August. I am due to be paid the first payment of £512 on 4 Sept. The next payment will cover the 4 weeks to 2 October and will be £800. How exactly do I calculate the total taxable for 24/25?

Hi George,
State pension is calculated on a weekly basis, to work out the taxable figure for 24/25 you would calculate the number of weeks from 18 August to 5 April and multiply this by the weekly rate.
Thank you.
