Up to what age can retirement be postponed?

Retirement can be postponed until the age of 70 at the most, and a distinction is made between two types.

  1. You remain active with the same work hours, and the retirement date is postponed.
  2. In the case of partial retirement, you reduce your work hours in a maximum of three partial steps of at least 20 percent each. Retirement benefits may be claimed either in whole or in part as capital for the individual stages of partial retirement.

Whether and to what extent retirement savings capital continues to be saved during this period is decided by the employer's pension plan. By law, however, it is not possible to continue insuring the risk benefits of disability and death.
