How does the pension-gap (Rentenlücke) calculator work?

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the statutory pension calculated?

In simplified terms: your gross annual income divided by the national average wage gives pension points (Entgeltpunkte). These are then multiplied by the current pension value (Rentenwert).

What is a realistic pension gap?

Most employees face a gap of EUR 500-1,500 per month between their statutory pension and their desired standard of living.

When should I start providing for retirement?

The earlier the better. Thanks to compounding, an early start requires noticeably smaller monthly amounts.
