Re: Proposed Pension Changes
I agree . What is the difference between paying for extra years and having already paid extra years? Also again those off us at say 60 will have 8 or 9 years where not contracted out as it didn't, t come in untill 1978. Maybe our foundation amount will come from. Our total NI, contribution ?

What I have been unable to fathom is any kind of simple way to get a rough idea of how to predict what someone's foundation amount is likely to be...

Re: Proposed Pension Changes
Yes it will - they have said that at the point of change, your entitlement will be calculated under the current system and also under the new system. The higher of the 2 amounts will be your foundation amount.

Re: Proposed Pension Changes
I thought I should mention this...
While a British couple get £176 per week on a full UK state pension (around £730) a month, my Spanish in-laws get 5,000 euros per month on a full Spanish state pension
Couldnt believe it when they told me. They were complaining that it should be more

Re: Proposed Pension Changes
And just a note that 1500 euros per month is way below the Spanish average household income
Sometimes the less well off Spanish people are referenced when they are just one section of society, just like in the UK

Re: Proposed Pension Changes
OH received his state pension in Feb this year, they deducted £41 a week from his as he was "contracted out".
I won't get mine until I'm 62yr 4mths & 12 days (being born between 1950 & 55) I'm told I'm entitled to £110, plus two years additional payment having 32 qualifying years.
They keep moving the goal posts.

As I understand it, they calculate the amount of pension earned based on contributions (including Serps, SP2 etc, as though you would receive it), and deduct the GMP (guaranteed minimum pension) that is included in private pension (paid for by the reduced ni contributions). In other words, there isn't a deduction, as you were never entitled to it in the first place, its only the way they show the calculation. Like everything from the government, why do it the easy way, as that means people might understand it.
If you think that's complicated, try understanding how you will get rises on the GMP included in your private pension. Some of will be paid by the employer, and some of it the government in your state pension, depending upon when it was accrued.

I believe this link may explain what Johnnyone refers to re public sector and Private Sector.
