Should I pay missing NI contributions , if I’m 35?

Bookowl

Hope someone can help, I’m 35 and have missing NI contributions:
2012-13 £126.80
2008-09 £824
2007-08 £824

I have another 19 years to 5 April 2056 to contribute to state pension of which its prediction  is £203.85 a week.

Would it be valuable to contribute to my missing NI contributions?

You do not have another 19 years to contribute. You have another 33 years until 2056

I do not know how many years you have done so far....but if you missed only 3 years and you are 35, you probably already have 14 years of contributions and you have another 33 years to make up about 21 years of contributions.

I suspect that your forecast states you need another 19 years to reach the max with 33 years left to get there.  That means you will currently have somewhere around £93 at April 2022 / 23. There is little to no point in filling those gaps if you intend working or claiming benefits for those 19 years with another 14 years spare. 12-13 may be attractive if you really want to.

Yes- the exact wording is - Forecast if you contribute another 19 years before 5 April 2056
