Self Employed - not sure if need to pay voluntary class 2


Am self employed, my first self assessment I've done in a while. Just about to pay my self assessment tax bill. Noticed I'm not down to pay any Class 2 NI contributions, just £756 Class 4. I've got a few years gaps where I'm missing NI contributions so need this year to count towards pension etc

My self assessment says:-

Profit £20,980
Tax £2093
NI £756

Would that be classed as a full year for pension?
 
I assumed that as my profit was more than £12750 I would have to pay Class 2 but it is showing as £0.00 owed in my self assessment. I'm fine with paying the voluntary contribution but obviously don't want to if I don't have to.

Can someone point out where I am going wrong 
  • Less than £6725 I can pay voluntary but my profit is more than that
  • £6725 - £12570 don't need to pay, will be classed as a full year, but I'm over 12570.
  • £12570+ must pay but my self assessment says £0.00 Class 2 to pay
