This is how pension works
In the Netherlands a pension consists of 3 pillars: your pension from the government, from your employer and accrued through insurance or bank savings products by means of which you make individual arrangements for your retirement income.
1. The government: state pension
Everyone who lives in the Netherlands receives a basic pension via the Dutch General Old Age Pensions Act (AOW). This is paid monthly by the Dutch Social Insurance Bank (SVB). You will receive this when you reach the state pension age. Check out what your state penson age is here .
2. Employer: old-age pension
Most employees accrue pension through their employer. The employer often pays a part of the pension contribution, while you pay the other part from your (gross) salary. Check out MijnZwitserleven to find out how much pension you are now accruing and your expected retirement income. On Mijnpensioenoverzicht.nl you will find an overview of all pensions. Also what you have accrued with previous employers.
Within your pension scheme, you can make choices that may affect your income for later. Check out the options below. Options may be different per scheme.
3. Individual: your supplements
In addition to the state pension and your old-age pension, you can supplement your future retirement income. For example, by means of savings, investments or banking annuities. Please consult your adviser to find out more about the options available to you.
