How do I pay full year NI contributions while I'm not working and not entitled to any state benefits. I still need another 15 years of contributions to get full state pension.
Thanks

Once you have established that you do indeed need that number of years, then you can just call HMRC each year and pay another year. I am doing this and always paying just under 2 years in arrears to keep the money in my bank for as long as possible and to guard against paying years too early and then falling under a London omnibus or whatever...

Or you can set up a direct debit to pay for the current year in monthly installments - jsut remember to cancel it when you've accumulated all the years you need
Pay voluntary Class 3 National Insurance: Direct Debit - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)2
