Identify the National Insurance contributions you must pay

Most people who work have to pay National Insurance contributions (NICs). NICs are collected by HM Revenue & Customs and go towards benefits, such as unemployment benefit and the state pension. The class of NICs an individual pays can affect their entitlement to benefits.

Use this interactive tool to find out what NICs you have to pay. You will answer no more than 14 questions. Go straight to the first question.

This tool is not a substitute for professional advice. You may also want to discuss your options with HM Revenue & Customs and take advice from an accountant.
