How long will we be paying the divorce bill?

We’ll be paying the divorce bill until 2064—but most of the bill will be paid off by 2021, according to estimates from the financial watchdog, the Office for Budget Responsibility. The latest estimate for the divorce bill is £39 billion.

All our payments from 2029 onwards will be for meeting the cost of pensions.
