Log into My PFA and use the Pension Plan to plan when and how you want to have your pension paid out. 

If you have a pension plan through your current or previous employer, it is usually not possible to have your pension plan paid out before you reach the agreed retirement age.

If you are able to have your pension savings paid out before you reach the agreed retirement age, your savings will be subject to a 60 per cent flat-rate tax to the Danish state. In addition, PFA charges a fee of DKK 2,095.

If you want to learn more about the possibility of having your savings paid out early, please contact us at (+45) 70 12 50 00. 

If you are married, it will, as a rule, be your spouse, who will receive your life insurance and your savings if you die before retirement. Unless you have appointed another beneficiary.

A beneficiary appointment is an agreement about who we should pay the money to in the event of your death. By completing a beneficiary declaration, you decide who should receive the money or a part of them.

Deciding who should receive these benefits is important because it protects your dependants from severe financial consequences.

Unless otherwise agreed with us, your next of kin will receive the money from your pension plan. Your next of kin may vary depending on whether the policy was established (or the beneficiary appointment was made) before or after 1 January 2008.

Seen from a taxation perspective, limitations apply to the amount that you can pay to the various savings types in order to get full tax deductibility for the payments.

Instalment pension
In 2025, you can pay a maximum of DKK 65,500 to an instalment pension or a temporary life pension. This applies regardless of whether you make private payments or payments through your employer.

Lifelong life pension
In 2025, your payments to a private life pension cannot exceed DKK 60,300. If you pay more, the deduction will be evenly distributed from this year and over the next 10 years. If the single payment amounts to less than DKK 526,000, the single payment may be deducted together with the top-up relief (DKK 60,300 in 2025) until the single payment has been used up. You decide yourself on your preliminary income assessment.
If you make extra payments to your lifelong life pension through your employer, no limitations apply.

Old-age savings
The maximum amount depends on how many years you have before reaching the state pension age.

If you are more than five years away from your state pension age, you may pay up to DKK 9,400 to your old-age savings plan.

If you are five years or less away from your state pension age, you may pay up to DKK 61,200 to your old-age savings plan. 

At My PFA, you can see an overview of your payments for this year as well as previous years. 

Whether you want to increase or reduce your payments, we would like to talk to you.

We just want to make sure that you get the best possible advice as several factors are important to consider when you change the size of your payments.

If you make payments through your employer, it is important that you also notify the payroll office about any changes in the size of your payments. 

If you want to make a single payment, we would like to talk to you.

We just want to make sure that you are well-informed about the rules of tax deductibility and the optimum Investment of your money. Please contact us at (+45) 70 12 50 00.      

Every year, PFA reports the size of your pension payments to SKAT (the Danish tax authorities).

If the payments are made through your employer, they are not subject to tax. The payments will be deducted from your salary before the tax is settled and are therefore not included in the salary that is reported to the tax authorities. This means that the amounts shouldn't be stated on your tax return.

When your pension savings are paid out, they will be taxed as personal income.

If you make private payments, you need to state your payments in your preliminary income assessment. This way, you get regular deductions for your pension payments.

If you need any help with listing your payments on your preliminary income assessment, please contact us at (+45) 70 12 50 00. 

If the payments made through your employer have stopped because you no longer work there, you will receive a letter from us that briefly describes your options.

Depending on your current situation, you can choose to continue making the payments on a private basis, to put the plan on hold for a period of time and thus keep your insurance cover, or to change your plan into a plan without payments, which does not include any insurance cover.

If you are unsure about how you want to continue your plan, please contact us at (+45) 70 12 50 00.  

If you make private or voluntary payments to your pension plan, you stop the payments by notifying us in writing - preferable by e-mail. Please use the contact form at the buttom of the page.

You can select CustomerCapital at My PFA if you have a savings plan with regular payments, and if the plan that you are making payments to allows for CustomerCapital.

Lifelong life pension
Payouts from a lifelong life pension are subject to personal income tax. You can convert your employer-funded life pension to a lump sum on retirement if the annual payout totals DKK 12,800 or less. In this case, the payout will be subject to a 40 per cent flat-rate tax.

Old age savings
Payouts from an old age savings plan are not subject to tax as the payments haven't been tax deductible.

Endowment pension
In 2024, payouts from an endowment pension are subject to a flat-rate tax of 40 per cent.

If you live outside Denmark, you can apply for exemption from pension yield tax.

It is SKAT (the Danish tax authorities) that decides whether you can be exempt from pension yield tax. Therefore, you need to contact SKAT to get more information.

The return on average interest rate plans is the deposit interest rate that PFA fixes on a regular basis. At the same time, you are guaranteed a fixed payout on retirement.

This means that with an average interest rate plan, you know the size of the minimum payout you will receive on retirement. In return, your plan does not have the same high return potential as market rate plans do.

Read more about the average interest rate environment

The calculation of the size of the guaranteed benefits is based on a set of assumptions concerning the rate of interest, risk, expenses, etc.

The assumed rate of interest is called the basic interest rate. The size of the basic interest rate depends on when the pension plan was established and when any increases in the size of the payments took effect.

The basic interest rate is not comparable with a guaranteed rate of interest. The deposit interest rate, which is the current rate of interest, may during some periods be higher or lower than the basic interest rate as long as we are able to uphold the guaranteed benefits at the time of payout.       

View the deposit interest rate for the last 10 years

With an average interest rate plan, you do not receive a guaranteed rate of interest, instead you receive a minimum payout on retirement.

The calculation of the size of the guaranteed benefits is based on a set of assumptions concerning the rate of interest, risk, expenses, etc.

The assumed rate of interest is called the basic interest rate. The size of the basic interest rate depends on when the pension plan was established and when any increases in the size of the payments took effect. 

We fix the deposit interest rate on an ongoing basis based on the development on the financial markets and with regard to being able to honor our responsibilities towards our customers.

According to Danish law, we are obligated to have enough assets set aside  to provide security for all of our customers' guaranteed benefits on retirement. 

More and more customers show an interest in transferring their savings from the average interest rate  to the market rate environment, and therefore we have opened up for this possibility.

If you have both an average interest rate plan and a market rate plan, you can see whether you can transfer your average interest rate plan to market rate at My PFA.

Here you can also find a calculation of your transfer allowance.

You receive a transfer allowance because you give up your guaranteed payouts when you transfer to a market rate plan.

When you have a market rate plan, we invest your savings in shares, bonds and similar based on the investment profile you have selected.

With a market rate plan, you are not guaranteed a fixed return and thus neither a fixed payout. In return, PFA can invest your money more freely and invest a larger part in shares, properties, etc. In our experience, this provides a better return than traditional average interest rate plans in the long run.

PFA's market rate product is called PFA Plus. Read more about the market rate environment

Leaving your job doesn't necessarily mean that we are able to pay out your savings.

If you have a pension plan through your current or previous employer, it is usually not possible to have your savings paid out before you reach the agreed retirement age.

If you are able to have your pension savings paid out before you reach the agreed retirement age, they will be subject to a 60 per cent flat-rate tax to the Danish state. In addition, PFA charges a fee of DKK 2,095.

If you want to learn more about the possibility of having your savings paid out early, please contact us at (+45) 70 12 50 00. 

If you are married, it will, as a rule, be your spouse, who will receive your life insurance and your savings if you die before retirement. Unless you have appointed another beneficiary.

A beneficiary appointment is an agreement about who we should pay the money to in the event of your death. By completing a beneficiary declaration, you decide who should receive the money or a part of them.

Deciding who should receive these benefits is important because it protects your dependants from severe financial consequences.

Unless otherwise agreed with us, your next of kin will receive the money from your pension plan. Your next of kin may vary depending on whether the policy was established (or the beneficiary appointment was made) before or after 1 January 2008.

When we are notified of a death by the Danish Central Office of Civil Registration, we forward a form to the estate that must be competed by  the dependants. We will forward the form by post in order to obtain proof of identity of any surviving relatives.
Once we have received the completed form, we will contact the surviving relatives if we need any supplementary information or a probate Court certificate.

If the deceased was living outside Denmark, please contact us at (+45) 70 12 50 00.

Lifelong life pension
Payouts from a lifelong life pension are subject to personal income tax. You can convert your employer-funded life pension to a lump sum on retirement if the annual payout totals DKK 12,800 or less. In this case, the payout will be subject to a 40 per cent flat-rate tax.

Old age savings
Payouts from an old age savings plan are not subject to tax as the payments haven't been tax deductible.

Endowment pension
In 2025, payouts from an endowment pension are subject to a flat-rate tax of 40 per cent.

If you are unable to continue the payments to your pension plan during your leave of absence, you can choose to put your plan on hold for a period of time. Putting your payments on hold means that you do not make any payments to your plan, but you still keep your insurance cover, and the price of your insurance cover is deducted from your savings.

We provide information about your pension plan to PensionsInfo, but we do not control how PensionsInfo processes the information they receive from us.

For example, we calculate the forecast af your payouts differently, and therefore these figures do not match. 

If your pension plans are displayed at My PFA, they should also be displayed at PensionsInfo as the information displayed at PensionsInfo comes from My PFA.

PensionsInfo only allows us approximately 60 seconds to transmit the requested data when you log on.

Sometimes, 60 seconds are not enough and therefore you may find that not all information from PFA is displayed the first time round.

If you log off, wait approximately 30 seconds and then log in again, the information will usually be available.

If this doesn't help, we can look into whether the missing information at PensionsInfo is caused by something else. Please contact us at (+45) 70 12 50 00.
