It’s not linked in any normal sense though, is it? It’s based on years that you’ve contributed. Not how much. In my case I need 30 years contributions for a full state pension (in 17 years time…). But in those years I could have contributed £1 or £100,000 a year in NI. My state pension would be the same. And although I have 30 years of contribution, I still need to pay NI for which I’ll get no additional state pension. NI is just another tax.
