In 2026/27, the full new State Pension is £241.30 a week, but the amount you receive depends on your National Insurance record. You usually need at least 10 qualifying years to receive anything under the new system and 35 years for the full amount, although some people’s records are affected by periods of contracting out. State Pension age is 66, rising gradually to 67 between April 2026 and April 2028. Check your State Pension forecast and the latest rates on GOV.UK, as your personal entitlement may differ.
