National Insurance - is it based on weekly or annual income?

I retired last year (below state pension age).

I have only worked for a few weeks this tax year, earning around £1,000, but have had £60 class 1 NI deducted, because my weekly pay was above the weekly NI limit.

Is this correct or can I reclaim this due to my total annual income?

    It's based on weekly earnings per employment and is not reclaimable.
