Researching online the information found conflicts with the maths. Born July 15th 1959 therefore qualifying for the new state pension, which will be 230 pounds starting in April 2025. Qualifying years required = 35. so each year is worth 1/35th of 230 right? (6.57). However, information online says that buying NI years will increase your weekly amount by 6.32 ? which is the correct amount? Also, does it matter if the NI years you buy are pre 2016? i.e. does that increase your weekly amount by less than 1/35th? less than 6.32? In other words if you purchase NI years that are after 2016 they increase your weekly pension by 6.32 or 6.57 ? Please clarify. In my case I qualified for class 2 for buying years, this was communicated in writing from HMRC.
