Government Pension Website

Hi
I just went on the website to check my state pension forecast. it is showing I have 2 more years to get maximum state pension. However the current forecast is dated April 2021. Does anyone know when the forecast will be updated to April 2022?  Thanks

    It depends on when your employer submits last tax year's data to HMRC and then they update your record....could take until the autumn.

    I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple :D

    If you keep an eye on this forum someone usually posts an update when they see their forecast get updated for the latest full tax year 🙂

    Mines updated, I'll need to purchase 1 more year, for an increase of £3.16/week to receive the maximum current of £185.15/week, is this worth it?

  • Are you paying voluntary Class 2 or 3?

    Worst case scenario you get an inflation proofed £164/year for an initial outlay of c£800.

    @Dazed_and_C0nfused - Thank you, No longer working, no longer contributing. https://www.gov.uk/voluntary-national-insurance-contributions/rates suggests the missing 2022-23 class 3 year will cost £827, I'll purchase when I can I think.

    I bought 4 years of Class 3s, with the final year buying me £4.80.  I had previously decided that I would buy the final year if it gave me £3 or over, would think about it if it gave me between £2 and £3, and probably wouldn't bother if it had been less than £2.
