Summary

Entering your State Pension

Enter your projected annual State Pension from your gov.uk/check-state-pension forecast. The full new State Pension requires 35 qualifying years of National Insurance contributions — if you have fewer, use the reduced figure shown on your forecast instead. The engine applies the triple lock (grows at CPI plus a small annual premium) automatically, so set inflation-linked to Yes.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I find my State Pension forecast?
gov.uk/check-state-pension gives you your projected annual amount based on your National Insurance record.
What if I have fewer than 35 qualifying years?
Use the reduced figure shown on your gov.uk forecast instead of the full new State Pension amount — your forecast already accounts for your actual NI record.
