80% of your final salary

As a rule, pensioners require about 80 percent of their final salary to cover their outgoings. You will receive no more than 60 percent of your final salary from the 1st and 2nd pillars. Private retirement provision helps to cover the remaining income gap.

Retiring early?

Early retirement is costly. Plan for your early retirement in good time. In the pension certificate from your pension fund, you will see how much you will receive at a certain point in time.

Annuity or lump sum

You can withdraw the balance from your pension fund as a lifetime annuity or a lump sum. A combination of both is also possible. Think carefully about this decision, you will not be able to change it afterward.
