  • Question about Voluntary National Insurance contributions - £824.20?

    I moved away in 2011 and prior to that was working for a few years part time only whilst I was in university, so never worked full time. I am still overseas so applied for the voluntary National Insurance contributions. They have gotten back to me through the app that my yearly contributions are £824.20 each year, from 2011 onwards The covid years 2020 =£795.6 and 2021 =£800.80 then back to £824.20 again from 2022 I have never been back to Scotland for work since I left in 2011. when I was working part time in Edinburgh during uni the contributions they have listed for me to pay are £1xx, and then £500 in my last year of working (2010-2011). Is this standard 824.20 amount right? I will call and check but also hard to do with the timezone difference. My husband on the other hand is quoted £1xx per year only, whereas mine is 8x that amount. Thanks Christina
