Good to know

• The pension of current retirees will not be paid with the money from the pension contributions of the current employees.

• For each euro of monthly pension contributions paid by an employee and employer, you as a retiree will receive two to three euros back in pension on average.

• If you retire at the statutory retirement age (AOW), you will not receive 70% of the last earnt wage, but 70% of the average earnt wage if pension contributions have been paid for forty years.

• If the pension fund did not invest the money from pension contributions, you as a retiree would only have very little pension available.

• As pension funds do not make profit in the way insurance companies do, all return on investment benefits the members of the pension fund.

• PDN pension is available to both retirees and middle-aged workers who are disabled or to the partner and children of a middle-aged person who passes away.

• Active members work more than one day a week for their pension.
