Formula & Methodology

Monthly Pension = (Pension Points × Current Point Value) / 12
  • Current Point Value (2024): €37.60 (set by German law, subject to change)
  • Each year with average salary ≈ 1 pension point
  • If you earn above/below average, your points are proportionally higher/lower

Worked Example

  • Points: 18.2
  • Pension value: €37.60
  • Monthly Pension = (18.2 × 37.60) / 12 = €57.07
