How do you count one year of pension contribution?
What happens if you work part time?
I think I have 30 years but for 6 of these I worked part time, do they count?

If you paid full NI contributions while working part-time, yes they do count.

Its not the part time bit that counts its the total NI you've paid/been credited with that matters.

Best bet is to get a state pension forecast

I did two years of part-time service towards the end of my career and earned enough to pay NI, therefore these years count towards my pension.
