Will you get by with your state pension?

The answer is simple: no, you won’t.

At least, this is the case for most Belgians. Because your statutory pension is (considerably) lower than your final salary. In other words, it’s not enough to maintain your current lifestyle. That is why it’s a good idea to build up a supplementary pension. To close the gap and to safeguard your future comfort.

At NN we believe everyone is unique. And that everyone has their own way of preparing for their old age. How can you ensure a comfortable old age?

Ask yourself the following 3 questions

<small>1. When can I retire?</small>

The state retirement age is 65 and a full career spans 45 years. However, few people actually carry on that long: on average we retire at 61.

<small>2. How much statutory pension will I receive?</small>

Every Belgian who works is entitled to a state pension. The amount you will receive each month depends on your statute, your career and your salary. This means it varies greatly from one person to the next. A guaranteed minimum pension has been determined for a full career. However, since most people don’t work the full 45 years, the actual average pension is lower.

<small>3. How much money will I need for my pension?</small>

The average Belgian lives another 23 years after retirement. Fortunately your family expenditures drop once you’re retired: 10% on average. This means a single retiree spends approximately €1,733 per month. For a couple that’s €2,599. However, your income is cut by much more than 10%. For many Belgians, their state pension amounts to less than half their final salary.
