Pension: Up to €393,000 extra possible: These figures show how much capital pension you could get
The capital pension is set to start in 2028. Handelsblatt has calculated how much money can be saved with the supplementary pension for four age groups with different scenarios.
The German government plans to pass its pension package through the Bundestag by the end of the year, with the capital-funded supplementary pension set to start in 2028. According to calculations by Handelsblatt, employees could save significant amounts through the supplementary pension, with younger workers benefiting the most.
A 30-year-old could save between 165,000 and 392,800 euros by retirement age, while a 40-year-old could save between 96,700 and 172,700 euros. If withdrawn at a rate of 1000 euros per month, the savings could last up to 40 years.
