The State Pension Age (SPA) is the earliest age you can draw
your State Pension. Your SPA is specific to your date of
birth.
Historically, the SPA has been 60 for women and 65 for
men. However, these are changing.
- Between 2010 and 2020 women's retirement ages are increasing to
65.
- Between 2024 and 2026, retirement ages for men and women are
increasing to 66.
- Between 2034 and 2036, retirement ages for men and women are
increasing to 67.
- Between 2044 and 2046, retirement ages for men and women are
increasing to 68.
The newly appointed government is looking at
bringing in the rises to 66, 67 and 68 sooner. This
calculator will be updated as and when their proposals
are finalised. This is likely to be the end of 2010 or
the beginning of 2011.
