The Treasury anticipates that the new full state pension will increase in monetary terms by more than £400 annually, above inflation.
The BBC had access to internal working estimates that almost certainly indicate a rise in the state pension based on average earnings data that is expected to be disclosed next week.
This is because of the triple lock, which raises the state pension each April by the highest of the average UK salary rise, inflation, or 2.5 percent.
The announcement coincides with criticism directed at the government for deciding to stop funding most seniors' winter heating.
Since millions of individuals will not get the payment, the total gain in their income is probably going to be in the range of £100 to £200.
Following a £900 rise last year, the full state pension for males born after 1951 and women born after 1953 will be almost £12,000 next year.
Under the previous system, pensioners who were born before 2016 who may have qualified for a secondary state pension would have received an annual rise in their basic state pension of at least £300, making it £9,000 in the next year.
Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall will make the ultimate decision over the uprating prior to the Budget next month, although Chancellor Rachel Reeves reaffirmed the government's support for the triple lock on Monday, saying it will remain in place until the end of this parliament.
All of the major parties made the costly election pledge on the £130 billion annual state pension expense.
