UK State Pension

When you reach the UK state pension age you may be eligible to claim a state pension as a basic retirement income. The amount that you receive as a UK state pension will be based on the number of years for which you have made national insurance contributions.

The UK state pension is designed as a basic retirement income and may not be enough to allow you the lifestyle that you would like in retirement. Even if you qualify to receive the maximum amount of UK state pension, you may still want to join a company or personal pension scheme so that you can build up funds to complement your state pension on retirement.
