Changes to National Insurance contribution

[HelloThereObiWan]

I've tried Google for this but I'm just getting results about being self employed which doesn't apply.

I'm in a part time admin role. Since the changes last month to National insurance contributions I no longer pay any national insurance as my salary is below the threshold.

How does this effect my pension contributions? Should I be looking to pay voluntarily or will my employment still count? Does anyone know?

Don't worry, the threshold hasn't changed for qualifying years. As long as you earn over £123 a week (for 2022/23) you'll get the credit.

Thanks very much!

Thank you @HelloThereObiWan @DuckBushCityLimit for addressing this.

It is so important that those of us in this position understand this. I remember having the same panic when they announced the rise in threshold. But it's something I'm going to keep an eye on because I'm not sure i trust the current government to keep this.
