Who has to pay national insurance contributions in the UK?

Correct Answer: Almost everybody who is in paid work

Almost everybody who is in paid work in the UK must pay National Insurance (NI) contributions. This includes both employed and self-employed workers.

NI contributions help fund the State Pension, the NHS, and other benefits. It is not based on a fixed age limit but on whether a person earns above the NI threshold.
