Bubbles | Why do I pay NI? What is it? |

When you claim benefits (pension, job seekers etc.) they usually consist of a fixed statutory part which everyone will get and another variable part, which is based on the NI contributions you have made.
Originally the NI contributions were intended to fund all the benefits they pay for, but that is no longer the case and money from various sources all goes into one pot and is distributed to wherever it is needed.
It is a common misconception that NI contributions fund the NHS. This is paid for out of general taxation and is free at the point of use for all citizens, regardless of contributions made. |

NI is NOT a contribution to the health service. It is an insurance against sickness and unemployment and its payment is your contribution towards sickness, unemployment and invalidity benefits should you require them. Payment of sufficient contributions also counts towards your state pension provision. |

It's more than health contributions, it's general contributions in the event that you are unemployed in the future.
If you become unemployed in UK they look at your N.I. contributions to date to determine what benefits you will receive. |

National Insurance is a compulsory payment to preserve your entitlement to Social Security Contributory benefits and to preserve your right to a Retirement Pension in later life. |

It contributes to both the NHS and the pension state. The latter is a bit of a joke, though, because it's widely believed that by the time we hit retirement age (I'm 25 - but this applies to people older than me as well), there will be no real state pension to talk about, because all the money will be gone.
So our NI are supporting today's pension seekers, but when it comes to our turn, we'll be stuffed, which is why many people are investing money in property or company pensions to ensure they're OK when they're older. |

National insurance
National insurance is a scheme where people in work make payments towards benefits. The payments are called national insurance contributions and certain benefits are only payable if you meet the national insurance contribution conditions. National insurance contributions also go towards the costs of the National Health Service. The national insurance scheme is administered by the HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
If you claim a benefit or tax credit, you will need a national insurance number. This applies even if it is not a benefit which depends on national insurance contributions. You will also need to supply your national insurance number in other circumstances, for example, when you get a new job. |

Essentially, if you don't pay NI (National Insurance), then want NHS dental treatment, free prescriptions from the doctors if you're ever entitled to them, or sick pay, statutory maternity pay (for women obviously!), a hope of a pension or benefits, anything like that that the government subsidises, then you have no hope of getting them. You have to pay into the system to get the benefits. And for all those out there saying, but I'm not going to benefit. Well, I think in the short term we will, as you will still get subsidised health care, i.e. no private fees yet for hospital work unless you want to pay it!, but in the long term the question will inevitably end up being, What's a state pension?
