More information
By default, your pension from PME starts when you reach your AOW pension age. You can, however, retire early. Pension consultant Arjan de Beurs will tell you how it works in the following video:
In our pension scheme, your pension starts on the day you reach state retirement age. You can opt to retire before that. This is called 'early retirement'. Log in using your DigiD and check how much money you will get if you take early retirement.
The earlier you retire, the lower your pension will be. That's only logical:
- If you stop working earlier, you build up pension for a shorter period of time than if you continued working until your state retirement age.
- Besides, if your pension starts earlier, your pension will be paid out over more years.
Carefully consider beforehand if you can make ends meet with a lower pension.
