Check your State Pension
Use this service to find out how much State Pension you could get when you reach State Pension age.
The amount is based on an estimate of what your National Insurance record could be when you reach State Pension age.
You’ll also get information about how to increase your State Pension, if you can.
You can only use this service if you’re under State Pension age.
Other ways to apply
You can get a State Pension statement by phone or post. It’s based on your National Insurance record so far.
If you’re over State Pension age or reach it in less than 30 days
Call and ask for a statement. You’ll be sent a statement (‘entitlement notice’) that says how much pension you would get if you claimed now.
