The Compulsory Health Insurance (Zvw) statutory contribution has been increased to 5.7%. The contribution in 2020 was 5.45%.
The HPF deducts the income-related Zvw contribution from the gross pension payments. This means that in 2021 you will receive slightly less pension.
Note, however, that the maximum amount over which you pay the income-related Zvw contribution has been increased to € 58,311. In 2020 this was € 57,232. In other words, the amount deducted does change even if your gross pension doesn’t.
We are expected to implement the new pension scheme from January 1, 2026. We are preparing for this, so that this transition is done carefully. For example, in 2024 we switched to a new pension administration system. In this administration system, we can administer our current and future pension scheme. In short: with this administration system we are ready for the future.
Your pension scheme will change from January 1, 2026. In the coming months, we will explain the new pension scheme to you in small pieces. This time: the change in the way we build up pension.
