Your pension will be increased with an indexation

In 2024, your pension will be increased by an indexation of 3.26%. Our financial situation is good enough for this. Read more about our financial situation.

Your holiday allowance is already included

People who work, usually receive their holiday allowance separately. This is different for pensioners. Your holiday allowance is already included in the pension you receive from us every month.

Taxes and your pension

You pay taxes over your income. That includes your pension.

Apply for a payroll tax reduction on one income

With the payroll tax reduction, you have more money left over every month. Be sure to apply for the payroll tax reduction for one income, otherwise you will receive too much reduction and you will be required to pay this back later. On your statement, you can see if we have applied the payroll tax reduction.

If anything changes in your income, it is wise to find out where you can apply for the payroll tax reduction.

  • If you have another income, check to see which option is most favourable for you.
  • If you have a partner with an own income, your partner is also entitled to the payroll tax reduction.
  • Where you can best apply the payroll tax reduction depends on the amount of your pension. For more information, please visit the SVB website. 

Will you receive your state retirement pension (AOW) for the first time this year?

Once you start receiving state retirement pension, you no longer pay your state retirement contribution. This means that your pension will increase. Would you like more information about the state retirement pension (AOW) and taxes? Please visit the website of the Tax Authorities.

We deduct the Healthcare Insurance Act contribution

In the Netherlands, everyone has healthcare insurance. Your healthcare insurance contribution consists of two parts:

  1. The contribution you pay to your health insurance company.
  2. The income-related Healthcare Insurance Act (Zvw) contribution that we deduct from your pension.

In 2024, the Healthcare Insurance Act (Zvw) contribution is 5.32% of your gross annual income. This year, you pay a maximum of €317.55 per month. If your gross salary is higher than €71,628 we will not deduct anything over the higher amount. You can see how much we deduct on your pension statement. For more information about the Healthcare Insurance Act (Zvw) contribution, please visit the website of the Tax Authorities.
