State pension of £11.5k

[Mazinbrum]

My mate has logged onto the gov website and it says his state pension forecast is £11531 a year in 3 years, I thought they were all similar at about 9.6k?

Sounds very high.
Thought mine was good:-

[Reginald Molehusband]

I receive £10344 pa. Age 67.

Just looked - Mine is £195.78 which is more than the maximum of £185.15.

The extra, I think is based on contributions made under the old SERPS scheme, less a deduction for when I was contracted out.

So it is possible to get more if you were paying into SERPS. Can’t see what the maximum is though.

Mine says £185.15/week.
I'm age 50 and it says I only have to contribute for one more year before 2038

This is mine although it’s only a forecast:-

Is anyone able to see their NI record for 2020-21 on the forecast website?

It takes them literally years to update the damn thing.

Is there a date by which they have to complete the record for previous tax years?

I have a client who is receiving close to £16K state pension...

It isn’t that uncommon to get more than the standard new state pension and the circumstances that lead to this are well documented. It is a quite deliberate outcome of the transitional carry forward calculations in 2016.

Someone will be along to tell you all that this is impossible and that you are delusional but that’s nonsense. That said the govt gateway online forecast can be incorrect and it is always worth seeking confirmation of the forecast from a more reliable source….

Yes. I can see 20/21 and 21/22.

I wonder if you have voluntary credits that are not yet allocated to the correct year and therefore sat in a suspense account waiting your instruction?

I can already see my 21/22 NICs are recognised as a full year for the calculation

My forecast is £142 a week, £7300 a year. Although retired I still need to buy a few more years as only have 32 years contributions.

I know someone getting around £1275 net for their state pension.

Mines due to be £10616 gross p.a. After a tip from UpTheIron I filled in the BR19 to get a definitive answer on my NI standing, as yet all I've received is a copy of the screenshots people have provided on here from the Gateway site, just have to wait for the other info to come through.
