The full new State Pension is £241.30 a week in 2026/27 (£12,548 a year) for 35 qualifying years, rising each April under the triple lock. This estimate scales it by your qualifying years. If you were contracted out before 2016, or have a protected payment, your actual amount can differ: your official forecast is on GOV.UK. State Pension age 68 is due to apply from 2044–46 under current law and is under review.
These are estimates based on 2026/27 rates and the inputs you give. Your actual position can differ (other income, benefits in kind, tax code changes, scheme rules). This is not financial or tax advice.
