The amount is set and does not change. When you pay as per letter it will change to year full.

I paid my additional NI contributions 2 weeks ago. Out of interest, what are people’s experience of how long it took HMRC to update your online record?
Me too (for both my wife and I). No updates so far in my case. I haven’t checked hers yet.
Last year despite paying both at the same time and using the same method, her record updated within I’d say about a month whereas mine took 4/5 months with regular phone calls from me to try to establish why.
As long as you have a paper trail, constant phone calls aren't helping
I understand your point Danny but I believe that there is an ongoing issue with payments to the HMRC going missing.
In my case and after a few months had elapsed with no update to my pension a ticket was opened by HMRC to trace my payment which then eventually bore fruit.

State pension top-ups are in dire need of an overhaul by DWP and HMRC
Long delays and money seemingly getting lost in the system have made buying top-ups a torturous process. A new online service will be welcome - but only if it actually works.
Waiting since November 2023 for that payment to show on my pension forecast! I've rang a couple of times and they said they could see the payment.
Hi ohrose. No - I never got an answer on that. It's a few years off for me yet so I guess I will just wait and see...

You should of course keep an eye on your record, but don't stress about it.
I've been doing this for decades & not had an issue.
I haven't rung yet but was thinking of doing so. I paid my backdated contributions in early Feb this year and no allocation as yet. Based on your wait time, it could be a little while yet.
You’re welcome.
I followed the instructions given in Post #495 by 3CC and it took my payment
Hi All, have a query, got both letters one to pay 17 years and one for 23-24, looking at the payment options, I read that from an overseas bank account is only possible if you live or work temporarily abroad, it states a different way to pay if class 2 if you live abroad permanently, when you click into this it’s as if you need to start the whole process again. I had tried to pay be Revolut before reading the information properly, from my UK Revolut but had issues with the reference so abandoned that idea, I think the best way to pay is by Bank Draft, would you agree or is there a way to send by online bank transfer, I just can’t see it. Thanks for the great information, really appreciated it.
It does and when you go online and you follow the instructions- choose overseas payments, the following is what I see, top section if you live or work abroad temporarily and second part if live or work abroad permanently, this take you back to the beginning complete the form, or maybe I’m just missing something, sorry for asking again, but can’t seem to see the online transfer option for permanently living abroad. Thanks.

I did it online but from my own BOI account with the info in the letter. Although their account is sterling, you have to add extra to cover all the fees. I think I added an extra 30. I had to set them up as a Payee and wait 48 hours before i could pay as sum was over 1000.
Good luck
