Blog: Do you know how much pension you will receive?

The day you retire may be many years ahead of you. Nevertheless, it is good to regularly check your pension. Will you get enough pension to enjoy it? Or what does early retirement mean? With the new Pension Checker app you will immediately receive answers to these questions. Checking your pension has never been easier.

Have you been divorced, have you started working more or less days, or have you lived abroad for a longer period of time? This affects your pension. See how you are doing with the new Pension Checker app. You will get insight into your income later.

Download the app (only available in Dutch). The Heineken pension planner ‘’Opkoers’’ is available in English. For more information, see the last paragraph of this blog.
