Check your State Pension age

22 January 2026

People in our communities are being encouraged to take a few minutes to check their State Pension age using the GOV.UK online calculator.

Changes to the State Pension age in recent years mean that many people may not retire at the age they expect. This is particularly important for those born on or after 6 April 1960, as their State Pension age may be later than they realise.

Knowing your State Pension age can help you:

  • plan ahead with confidence
  • make informed decisions about work, finances and retirement
  • avoid uncertainty as you approach retirement age

Checking early gives people clarity and helps them prepare for what’s ahead.

The State Pension age calculator on GOV.UK is simple and takes just a few minutes. All that’s needed is a date of birth to find out the age you can claim your State Pension and the exact date you’ll reach that age.
