If you are 66 and qualify for the New State Pension, you will receive £221.20 per week (as of 2024). This is the maximum amount you can receive under the current system. To get this full amount, you’ll need 35 qualifying years of National Insurance contributions, which means you must have paid or been credited with contributions over that period.

If you have fewer than 35 years but more than 10, you can still receive the State Pension, but it will be proportionally lower depending on the number of qualifying years. Each year you’ve contributed adds to your pension, so it’s important to check your National Insurance record to see how close you are to the full amount.

For those with fewer than 10 qualifying years, you will not be eligible for the State Pension, but there may be other options or benefits available depending on your circumstances.
