State Pension payment calendar
Enter the regular date on your pension letter to see your next 13 four-weekly payments, including bank-holiday adjustments.
Use the regular date on your pension letter, rather than an early bank-holiday payment or a first partial payment.
Start the list from a later date
Leave the optional date empty to start at the confirmed date. Choosing today moves the list forward without changing the original four-week cycle.
See how the calendar works
Try a regular payment date of 28 December 2026 to see the Christmas bank-holiday adjustment, then enter your own date.
For a first payment, a different frequency, overseas payments or an uncertain date, check your award letter or contact the Pension Service.
Your date stays in this page’s memory. No account needed.
