NI and pension shortfall?

The_Dodger

Due to my wife's tax code increase she now does not pay NI.
She feels that as from now there will be no more years addded to her pension entitlement and finish with a shortfall.
Is she correct?

Her tax code has nothing to do with NI. She needs to earn £109 per week or £472 per month to be credited with contributions, up by inflation from £107/£463 last year. If she does not pay or be credited with contributions there is the option of class 3 voluntary contributions or possibly class 2 self employed contributions.

Thanks for that, her income is about £600 per month so no problem.
