Can I choose myself if my pension will move to the new rules?

You cannot choose this yourself. Your pension moves to the new rules. Your sector or employer has made agreements about this.

Will my pension go up or down every month?

Are you not retired yet? Then your personal pension pot moves with the economy each month. If the economy does well, your pension pot grows. If the economy does badly, its value goes down.

Do you receive a pension? Then you receive the same amount for a full year. At the end of each year, we set the amount for the next year. That amount then stays the same for a whole year, just like now.

Is it better to retire before or after 1 January 2027?

That depends on your situation. For example, if you retire earlier, your pension will be lower. This is because you accrue pension for a shorter time. And because you receive your pension for a longer period. You can easily calculate your pension with the pension planner at mypgbpensioen.nl.

Good to know: your pension will move to the new rules anyway. This also applies if you retire before 1 January 2027.
