The new State Pension is a regular payment from the government that most people can claim when they reach State Pension age. It is based on your National Insurance (NI) record. To get any State Pension, you need at least 10 qualifying years on your NI record. To get the full amount, you currently need 35 qualifying years.
This Calculator Site tool helps you estimate your potential weekly and annual payments based on the number of qualifying years you have. It provides a clear picture of what you might receive, helping you plan for retirement. For more detailed retirement planning, consider using our Pension Contribution Calculator.
Important: State Pension Age is Rising
The State Pension age is currently 66. It is scheduled to rise to 67 between 2026 and 2028, and then to 68 between 2044 and 2046. This means you may have to wait longer to receive your pension than you think. It is crucial to factor these changes into your long-term financial planning.
Here are the key figures for the new State Pension in the 2025/26 tax year. These numbers are the foundation for calculating your potential entitlement.
