Re: Which country in EU has best pension system?
I did my research but I want to hear information from first hand. Peoples calculations and "where to get what" opinion.
P.S. I know it's not easy question.

Now if you ask what the pension arrangements are like in particular countries that they are linked in to then thats easier to answer, but to ask posters which is the best then they will probably only refer to links like the one I mentioned :-) ;-)

Yes but you have at least two or three in each major country. I expected them to discuss and provide some pros and cons in general and it could bring interesting information for everyone. It was too long shot I suppose.

Re: Which country in EU has best pension system?
No one is going to tell you how much their Pensions are, but if a worker has contributed the statutory number of trimesters over the years, the basic French State Pension is about 1000€ per month, plus the now compulsory "complementary" Pension and any "Executive" Pensions which are also based on contributions. French Pensions higher than a certain threshold are, like salaries, subject to Income Tax....
There you go for France, but I don't think you're going to get a discussion going, just a comparison of basic figures for each country.... Whether France is the best? Impossible to say, as you can't compare until you're receiving a Pension in the country where you applied for it. And as I only worked 5 years in the UK, I've never bothered to compare the two Pensions....
Why do you ask? Are you contemplating moving to the Continent to work until retirement? or is this a research project?

Re: Which country in EU has best pension system?
Thanks for answer.
Actually it was my small instant research idea how it would look if someone change (for example) 4-6 EU countries during his working era. How pension would look and would there be more pros or cons. My intro was poorly defined question which no one actually bothers too much (me neither) so it's not surprise that there is no big discussion.
