Check your National Insurance record

You can check your National Insurance record online to see:

• what you’ve paid, up to the start of the current tax year (6 April 2019)
• any National Insurance credits you’ve received
• if gaps in contributions or credits mean some years do not count towards your State Pension (they are not ‘qualifying years’)
• if you can pay voluntary contributions to fill any gaps and how much this will cost

Your online record does not cover how much State Pension you’re likely to get.
