Have you checked if you might be entitled to PRSI credits for this period under the Homemaker's Scheme:Took 3 years out 1996-98 ( new baby!) .
The different PRSI contribution classes are explained here:I am a bit confused about the A and D stamps.
At some stage voluntary contributions may become option:Is there anything I could for next few years to maximise my entitlement ?
Almost certainly. Try to get this clarified before you reach retirement age.Have you checked if you might be entitled to PRSI credits for this period under the Homemaker's Scheme:
Homemaker’s Scheme
A homemaker, under the scheme, is someone who provides full-time care for a child under 12 or an ill or disabled person over 12. It makes it easier to qualify for a higher State Pension Contributory.www.gov.ie
Does that take into account that class D/K contributions don't cover pension benefits?Looking at your record it appears to me if you continue working for a further 6 years you would come into the yearly average rate of 30-39 contributions which based on present rates would give you a pension of €227.70 per week.
I did touch on this point in my original reply although I referred to a "public service defined benefit pension" which perhaps isn't strictly correct nomenclature?Just to be clear - all of the above replies refer to the State Contributory Pension. Are you also a member of the superannuation scheme in the HSE?
Mixed pension would not apply as the poster has more than 10 years of reconable paid contributions.The mix of Class A and Class D insurance may qualify you for a mixed pension if that is advantageous to you. The rules for this are beyond me but more knowledgeable posters may be able to provide
This is very confusing to me too. Once you made a Class S payment at all my understanding was that you got 52 contributions.@Xraylady as a matter of idle curiousity, how did you manage to clock up 104 Class S contributions in 2016? I would have thought that was impossible!
This is very confusing to me too. Once you made a Class S payment at all my understanding was that you got 52 contributions.
In any case the fourth column for reckonable contributions has the logical maximum of 52.
You had a major change from paying for 156 S contributions in 2014 to making voluntary contributions in 2015. Have you checked that this is correct.It appears to be a not-uncommon occurrence: both my missus and I have it on our PRSI records!

I have rental income and self employed income, and my contribution statement shows 52 S contributions per year.You pay S class on ARF distributions, unearned income and self employment earnings.
It is therefore possible to have 156 contributions per year.
