State pension age if you were born in 1964

If you were born in 1964, your state pension age is 67, so you reach it in 2031. The table shows the month for each birth date, from GOV.UK's timetable. GOV.UK's checker gives your exact date.

Worked example: someone born in July 1964, aged 62, retiring at 63. The calculator works out the state pension age from the date of birth. Your money lasts to 95, with £104,183 left.

How much you'll get

The full new state pension is £241.30 a week in 2026/27, about £12,548 a year. You need 35 qualifying years of National Insurance for the full amount if your record started after April 2016, and at least 10 to get any. Records that started earlier can give a different amount. Your GOV.UK forecast shows what you're on track for, and your National Insurance record shows any gaps.

When you can take private pensions

You reached 55 in 2019, so most private pensions can be taken now if the scheme allows. The minimum age for taking most private pensions rises from 55 to 57 on 6 April 2028. You're 57 or over by then, so the rise doesn't affect you.

The years in between

Born in July 1964, there are about 12 years between the age most private pensions open (55) and your state pension age (67). Retiring in those years means paying your way from pensions, ISAs, savings or work until the state pension starts. The calculator marks those bridge years and shows what pays for them.

Taking it later

You don't have to claim at state pension age. For every 9 weeks you put it off, your state pension goes up by 1%: just under 5.8% for a full year. GOV.UK's example is a year's delay of the full new state pension adding £13.99 a week, and taking over 15 years to get back what was given up.

Could it change?

This is the state pension age in current law. The government launched a third review of state pension age in July 2025, looking at the latest life expectancy figures and other evidence.
