Reaching state pension age prior to 1 January 2020
Click here to see your tax brackets if you reached state pension age prior to 1 January 2020.
The following table shows the differences between the tax rates in 2019 and 2020:
| On an income up to €20,711 | On an income above €20,711 and a maximum of €34,712* | On incomes above €34,712* and a maximum of €68,507 | On incomes above €68,507 | |
| 2019 | 18.75% | 20.20% | 38.10% | 51.75% |
| 2020 | 19.45% | 19.45% | 37.35% | 49.50% |
The first bracket tax rate is now slightly higher and therefore you might receive a lower net amount in 2020 than you received in 2019.

Compulsory Health Insurance (Zvw)
The Compulsory Health Insurance (Zvw) statutory contribution has been lowered to 5.45%. The contribution in 2019 was 5.7%. The HPF deducts the income-dependent Zvw contribution from the gross pension payments. This means that in 2020 you will receive a slightly higher pension. However, it is also possible that on the basis of the aforementioned tax bracket changes you could receive a lower net pension. Note, that the maximum amount over which you pay the income-dependent Zvw contribution has been increased to € 57,232. In 2019 this was 55,927. In other words, the deduction also changes even if your gross pension doesn’t.
