National Insurance gap why so much?

Hi, I have a gap for 2022 to 2023 for £500 and a gap for 2023 to 22024 for £900.
I don't understand why the amounts to be paid are so high as I was solely self-employed for those tax years and my SE profits from 2022 to 2023 were only £1800 and £2500 for 2023 to 2024.
I thought that the class 2 N.I. rate was around £160 to £170 a year so why do I owe £900 for 2023 to 2024?
Can anyone makes sense of this please? Many thanks.

The NI record only shows at class 3 rate. If you were self employed to need to speak to HMRC to get the correct rate for those years. The good news is you have plenty of time to sort it.1
