Meet Jane and David, an Australian couple who moved to the UK in 1998 when David took up a job opportunity.
David worked for a UK company for 8 years and wanted to find out if he would be entitled to a UK State Pension in retirement. Initially, Jane did not believe she would have any national insurance contributions as she only spent 18 months working while living in the UK, busy raising a young family.
After consulting with UKStatePension.com.au, Jane and David discovered that they had significant opportunities to increase their retirement income through voluntary contributions.
Jane and David's results
- David's pension increased from zero entitlement to £8,544 per year.
- Jane's pension increased from zero entitlement to £7,230 per year.
- A total combined income of over $31,500 at today's exchange rates.
- Costs involved making voluntary contributions for 18 years for a cost of less than less than $6,000 each.
"We knew David might get something from a UK State Pension, but I thought I wouldn’t have any hope. I feel like I won the lottery!"
