What are high NI contributions getting me, exactly?

Don't worry - it won't apply to you - you're special

I'm pretty safe, Lisa.

Sorry if it's an obvious question, but will there be a difference in my state pension, if I am paying big amounts of NI contributions?
Is there a calculator somewhere which shows that?

Thats why contractors operate through a LTD company and pay themselves the minimum salary to qualify for minimum yearly NI contribution.

You could theoretically work one or two months a year to qualify for minimum yearly NI contribution in the UK and work the other 10 months in another EU state ,possibly qualifying for 2 state pensions

Additional State Pension (ASP). Allegedly:

"How much you get depends on your earnings and whether you’ve claimed certain benefits. There is no fixed amount like the basic State Pension."

Good luck trying to work out how much you'll get...
