When will I get my state pension, and how much?
Your date of birth gives your state pension age. Add your qualifying years to see roughly what you'll get.
Nothing you type is sent anywhere. Your GOV.UK forecast shows your qualifying years.
Good to know
- You need 10 qualifying years for any new state pension and 35 for the full £241.30 a week (2026/27).
- If you were contracted out before April 2016, you may need more than 35 years. Your GOV.UK forecast shows your own figure.
- The state pension age timetable is the current law. A government review must report by March 2029 and could change the later rises.
- The state pension is taxable income, and isn't paid automatically: you claim it.
