NI confusion

I work part time and also am self employed, paying NI contributions from both incomes.
I would like to know if my state pension will be based on my employed contributions or self-employed or both?

    They will be combined to determine whether you have paid enough in for a year to be a qualifying year towards the basic state pension, then the flat rate state pension. Before the flat rate state pension comes in your self-employed NI is not used to calculate the additional state pension that is earnings-related, unless it is done via PAYE. The PAYE part time work is counted for this additional state pension.
