Delayed retirement: 4% more pension or 12,000 euros for each year

Spain's Social Security offers incentives for delaying retirement, known as "jubilación demorada". This can be received in three ways: as a percentage increase in pension, as a one-time payment or cheque, or a combination of both. To be eligible, one must have reached the ordinary retirement age and have at least 15 years of contributions.

The percentage increase is 4% per year of delay, with an additional 2% for periods over 6 months and under a year. A one-time payment can also be received, with an automatic 10% increase for those with over 44.5 years of contributions.
