How and when is my pension paid?

Your pension is paid directly into your bank account, using the bank's automated clearing system (BACS). Your pension will be paid on a monthly basis and is taxable.

2023-2024 pension pay dates

Your pension will be paid on the last working day of every month as follows:

What if I live abroad and have an overseas bank account?

If you live abroad it may take a few extra days for your pension to clear into your overseas bank account, therefore it is likely that your pension will be received a few days after the dates specified above.

You will receive a P60 at the end of each tax year, which will show you the amount of pension you have received and the tax deducted.
