Pension & Finances

Plan for retirement

What? How much? When? How long? Many questions arise when you plan for retirement. Above all, it is about creating an overview of what your financial situation will look like when you retire.

PFA recommends

Get started well in advance

In our experience, it is a good idea to plan your retirement well in advance so that you have time enough to tailor your pension plan to meet the wishes and dreams you have for your retirement.


Use the Pension Plan at My PFA

My PFA gives you an overview of how much money you have saved up. If you open the Pension Plan, you can see a full overview of your retirement finances, including pension savings, bank savings and home equity. The Pension Plan illustrates your current situation, lets you simulate your future financial situation and make a plan to reach your financial goals for retirement.

You can try planning your retirement finances by distributing your different savings in a payout plan. You can also try adjusting the figures and see the effect of, for instance, saving more or changing your retirement age.

The Payout Plan gives you a detailed overview of your expected post-tax income as a retiree, so you can see whether your savings match your expectations or whether you need to make some adjustments.

Go through the checklists

Go through our checklists below to see what you should pay attention to in relation to your retirement finances today, right before you retire and once you have stopped working.

When can your pension be paid out?

When you can have your pension paid out depends on when your pension plan was established:

  • If your pension plan was established before 1 May 2007, you can have your pension paid out when you turn 60.
  • If your pension plan was established after 1 May 2007, you can, as a rule, have your pension paid out 5 years before the public retirement age applicable at that time.
  • If your pension plan was established after 1 January 2018, you are, as a rule, entitled to start receiving pension payouts three years before the public old-age retirement age applicable at that time
