It may feel worlds away, but it's important to start thinking about your pension from an early age.
The full new State Pension is £179.60 per week. The actual amount you get depends on your National Insurance record. Your National Insurance record before April 6 2016 is used to calculate your ‘starting amount’. This is part of your new State Pension.
Your starting amount will be the higher of either the amount you would get under the old State Pension rules (which includes basic State Pension and Additional State Pension) or the amount you would get if the new State Pension had been in place at the start of your working life.
