Early Retirement Pension at Age 63: Suitable Candidates and Its Financial Benefit Analysis - Benefits and Eligibility of Pension at Age 63: A Comprehensive Analysis
The German Pension Insurance offers a free individual consultation for those seeking clarity on their pension options. This article will outline the changes to the retirement age and early retirement options in Germany.
As of 2024, individuals born in 1958 can retire without deductions at the age of 66. From 2025/26, those born in 1959 can retire without deductions at 66 years and 2 months, and from 2026/27, those born in 1960 can do so at 66 years and 4 months. The trend continues, with those born in 1961 able to retire without deductions at 66 years and 6 months from 2027/28, and those born in 1962 at 66 years and 8 months from 2028/29. Those born in 1963 can retire without deductions at 66 years and 10 months from 2029/30, and those born in 1964 and later can retire without deductions at 67 years old.
For those who have accumulated 35 years of pension insurance, early retirement at the age of 63 is possible, but there are reductions in the pension. For those born in 1962, for example, there is a 13.2% reduction in the pension. It is important to note that early retirement reductions apply for life and there is a loss of pension points because one pays into the pension insurance for up to four years less.
Those who have accumulated 45 years of pension insurance can retire earlier without deductions, starting from 64 years and 6 months old for those born in 1961. For each month one retires earlier before having 45 years of insurance, there is a 0.3 percentage point reduction in the pension.
It is worth noting that without tax advantages, it is not worth paying voluntary contributions to the pension fund. Those who retire earlier receive less pension due to fewer pension points accumulated and expected deductions.
It is essential to seek advice from the German Pension Insurance for a better understanding of one's personal pension situation and options. The normal retirement age is increasing year by year, with those born in 1964 and later needing to be 67 years old to retire regularly. Early retirement before this deduction-free age is generally not allowed for the "Rente mit 63" scheme, even with reductions. If retiring earlier than the official earliest age (for other pension types), pension benefits are reduced by pension deductions (abschläge), typically around 0.3% per month of early retirement. Thus, the pension reduction depends on how many months before the regular retirement age one retires early.
In conclusion, the German Pension Insurance offers a free individual consultation and various options for retirement age and early retirement. It is crucial to understand one's personal situation and make informed decisions based on the information provided by the German Pension Insurance.
