The state pension is a regular payment from the government that you can claim when you reach state pension age. The amount you get depends on your National Insurance (NI) record. You can use the state pension age calculator to find out when you’ll reach the state pension age. The full state pension is currently £1720 per week. You may get less if you have not paid or been credited with enough NI contributions. You may get more if you have made voluntary NI contributions or have deferred your state pension.
