Common questions

Can this line tell me about paying voluntary contributions?

Yes, for Class 3 voluntary contributions and filling gaps in your record. Check your State Pension forecast first so you know whether extra years would actually raise your pension.

Is the National Insurance line free?

It is a standard-rate 0300 number: the same cost as a normal landline call and included in most call allowances.
