Thanks.You need to get a full record of your (both) PRSI contribution record from Sligo - only then could you be given an idea
It could be anything from zero to full pension, but you need to have more information to get a better forecast
Currently the Dept. Of Soc Prot use two calculation models to determine what State Pension you might get. And you currently get whichever calculation produces the highest figure.Easiest way to think of it (which doesn't deal with all situations or possibilities but should suffice for many) is that 2,080 (40 years x 52 weeks) PRSI contributions/credits that count for pension purposes gets you the full contributory pension and any less than that (above 520) gets you the pro-rata amount. E.g. 1,040 would get you 50% of the full pension.
Edit: post crossed with @Jim2007's so maybe I'm being too simplistic there?
However, the Government have announced that the intention is to phase out the Totals and Average method over the next few years and to adopt the Total Contribution Approach only. However how this will be implemented is not yet clear.
