Lump sum

When you retire you have a number of choices for your pension. And there is a new option now: a lump-sum payment. With this option you can receive part of your retirement pension in one go. This must be no more than 10% of your retirement pension. You can decide yourself what to spend this money on. You would then, however, receive a lower pension for the rest of your life.

Referral until 2029

The cabinet has once again decided to postpone this new option. The postponement will allow you to make use of this option from 1 January 2029 at the earliest. 

Calculations not yet possible

We cannot yet calculate how much money you will receive in one go. You also cannot yet see in the pension planner how much pension you will receive later if you opt for a lump sum payment.

We will keep you informed

The legislation has not yet been finalised. You cannot opt for a lump sum just yet. As soon as more is known you will read about it here.
