Contributions to your state pension

It is advisable to regularly check your NI contributions record with HMRC to ensure you are on track to qualify for your state pension when you reach retirement age.  To fully qualify you need to have built up 30 years of contributions (or deemed contributions).

To check your last 6 years’ contributions record, call HMRC on 0845 915 5996.

To request a state pension forecast (which will confirm how many working years you have accrued in total) call the Pension Service on 0845 3000 168.
