Earning more or less salary
Earning more or less also has an effect
on your pension accrual
The salary you earn on 1 April of any specific year is used as the basis for calculating your pension accrual, and changes in the course of a year are therefore not processed in the administrative system.
If you have accrued a pension under the basic scheme up to now, it is possible that a salary raise may cause you to exceed the maximum salary threshold used as a basis for this scheme – the maximum of scale 100 (2024 €87,302).
You will then continue to accrue a pension under the basic scheme, but you will also accrue a pension under the top-up scheme on the amount by which your salary exceeds the maximum threshold. The pension fund will automatically inform you if your salary exceeds the maximum threshold.
