German state pension and occupational pensions
How much is the German state pension and what are the contributions and entitlement. Do German workers also pay into a company pension scheme.
I am not planning on moving to Germany but am attempting to establish how well off other EU pensioners are compared to British pensioners. |

This might be of help for worldwide comparisons.

Perhaps there is no maximum as the amount in benefit depends on amount paid in. "The benefits paid out are about 70% of the average net income you earned whilst working. The exact amount paid out depends on how much you put in and for how long. There are numerous other factors as well." Example Figures "As an example, assuming you work from the age of 25 to 65, with an average yearly salary of €50k, your monthly pension benefits will be about €800." I thought €800 seemed very low and wondered if it was correct, what do you think? |

It is not only the cash you should consider. Here in Germany we get no free prescriptions, bus passes etc. We have only just started to get Winter Fuel Allowance.

Thanks for your reply to my query. Are you able to supply information for any of the following, to give us some idea of their outgoings:

You would receive £66.00 per week in the UK for 18 years NI contributions to the basic state pension. I'm not sure if it's paid monthly or 4 weekly. The TV licence is £145.50 for a colour and £45.00 for a B&W set, per year. We are encouraged to pay £12.12 monthly, by direct debit and the majority receiving our pension or salary monthly or 4 weekly pay most of our bills monthly. My council tax is £1400 per year (payable in 10 instalments) Water rates is £550 per year (payable in 10 instalments) House buildings insurance and contents insurance is £530 per year I have recently switched energy supplier from two original suppliers to one supplier and have not had a bill yet. I think it will be about £50-60 per month. |
