Higher Dutch pension plan

In most pension schemes, an employee build up entitlement to the pension as well as well as to that of the partner. This is intended to ensure a subsistence level of income for a surviving partner, but subject to certain conditions, they can exchange some or all of their partner’s pension for a higher pension. This exchange does, however, require the partner’s consent. In that case you can trade in the partner’s pension for a higher Dutch retirement plan starting at the age of 67/68, for instance, or for early retirement without reduction of the benefit.

Higher partner’s pension

If an employee have a partner, it is possible to use part of the pension pension for a partner’s pension or additional partner’s pension, It is subject to tax limits. This means that the family will still be provided for even after your retirement date on the Dutch retirement plan. Rest assured, they do not need to decide until they actually retire.

Retiring earlier or later

They can choose to retire earlier or later. Bear in mind that if they wish to postpone the payment of this pension, they will need to continue working up until the chosen pension date.

If you want the pension of your employee to start before the pension date, it is advisable to discuss this in advance. Remember that they will not receive a state old-age pension until you are 67/68.
If an employee works longer before claiming the pension, they will receive a higher Dutch pension plan.

Opting for variable Dutch pension plan benefits

The pension scheme may allow an employee to vary the amount of the pension within certain limits. This is a useful option if, for example, they expect that they will need more income immediately after pension than when they are older. This is often referred to in pension regulations as the high/low construction.

Part-time pension

It is sometimes also possible to work part-time before pension. The pension starts immediately. He of she will then work part-time and receive pension payments to supplement the income. Check the pension regulations in a Dutch pension plan to verify whether this option is provided for in the pension scheme.

Worth knowing

If they have a partner’s pension on a risk basis they cannot use it for additional pension as it is a risk insurance to guarantee an income for the partner if he/she die before retirement date while still working for you as an employer. Contributions will stop on retirement date and so the entitlement to the partner’s pension also ends. They can, however, choose to convert all or part of the retirement pension to a pension benefit for the partner, if he/she have one. The Dutch pension plan is one of the best funded pension plans in the world.
