National insurance contributions/child benefit contributions

[TheDrsDocMartens]

I work part time on short term contracts (PAYE) and part time self employed (tax return at end of year).

I’ve paid NI contributions on my PAYE work, am I also getting contributions via CB ( will have a

NI is per job.
You get the NI allowance for each income stream.

If you had three part time jobs each paying £7000
you would pay 3 x £0 of NI
but your tax would be based on the £21k income
as tax is cumyulative
but NI is not

if that makes sense

But NI is cumulative for pension purposes?

I’m paying on earning less than £7k too

The new state pension is an on off switch : if you earn enough in a year to pay NI, you will get it.

The Class 1 NI limit is £155 per week = £8060 a year
If you earn below that you should not be paying NI in any one employment.

Class 2 (self employed) the limit is £6000
Class 4 (self employed) limit is £8060 - but class 4 does not count towards a pension

Ah, I’m earning over £155 a week but only in short term blocks hence paying it!
SE only since Jan but will be (fx) earning enough to pay in the next tax year.

How do I know if I’ve paid enough to get pension credited though? Do I still get the credit from child benefit claim?

If you pay NI - full stop - you get it.
To the best of my knowledge "full stamp" is now gone
