How Much Is The Old Age Pension In UK?

The guaranteed State pension in the United Kingdom has been revised for the year 2011-2012 to be £102.15 a week for a single individual.  This is an increase of 7% since last year.  Of course, you should have made your payments to the National Insurance Contribution. You could get additional credits toward your National Insurance contribution if you are self-employed, a parent, unemployed or caring for a child below the age of twelve.  Additional pension credits can give you up to £137.35 a week for a single person and £209.70 if you have a partner. These rates are revised every year based on the budget forecasted as well as the cost of living expected for the year. 

While your age and gender affect the pension which you will receive, the most important factor that influences your pension and the amount paid to you is your contribution to the National Insurance.  Old Age Pension can now be increased if you are in a marriage or civil relationship. Since this system is based on credits, paying the correct contributions can assure you of a basic pension entitlement.  Basic entitlement relies on a steady contribution equivalent of 49 years of working between the ages of 16 and 65.

However, various situations such as illness, disability and unemployment may prevent these contributions.  However, there are additional credits for these circumstances which may be obtained.  If you are able to work beyond the age of 65, your tax burden is also reduced and you do not need oto make any more contributions to the National Insurance.  Detailed information is available on the website:  www.direct.gov.uk/en/Pensionsandretirementplanning/index.htm

Hey there,

The basic UK state pension is £90.70 a week for a single person and £145.05 a week for a couple however it can be greatly affected by individual circumstance so I recommend you speak to an advisor or visit the official website for more info. That site features a calculator that can give you more accurate assessments.

Hope that helps.

Age 65 in 2015

We have been living in Spain for the past 12 month's but are coming back as we didnt settle and I was wondering how much s/s pay towards rent for a couple in the uk

A pension is one of the best and tax efficient ways to save for your retirement. The current state pension is upto just £84.25 per week for a single person and £134.75 per week for a married couple. Higher rate tax payers can usually claim even additional tax relief (currently upto a further 18p) using your self assessment returns. These figures are for the tax year 2006/2007.

The current rules state that you can retire among the ages of 50 and 75, however according to the new rules which come into effect from 2010 the minimum retirement age will change from 50 to 55, citizens unable to work due to sickness may still be permissible to take their pension benefits before reaching the minimum pension age. If there are more than four months to your UK pension date a state pension forecast may be requested for, which tells you your expected UK pension. This is based on the past and future earnings before the pension age is reached.

Not   enough I suspect! But you should be able to pay for the odd fine for not putting your refuse in the correct bin and a short taxi journey to Mc Donalds once a month  if your very careful  and don't waste it all at the charity shop!  Hope this helps.
