You’re eligible for the basic State Pension if you were born before:

  • 6 April 1953 if you’re a woman.

From 6 April 2022, the maximum UK State Pension was £185.15 a week or £9,627.80 a year.

To get the maximum pension, you need 30 qualifying years of National Insurance contributions.

Qualifying years include years that:

  • you were working and paying National Insurance.
  • you were getting National Insurance Credits, for example you were unemployed, sick, or a parent or carer.
  • you were paying voluntary National Insurance contributions.

If you have fewer than 30 qualifying years, your basic State Pension will be less than £141.85 per week.
