Dutch pension legislation has been changing a lot from 2015 onwards. Before 2015 pension was accumulated over the entire salary. This has been capped at +- €110,000 in 2015. Over the additional salary other arrangements have been met ('netto-pensioenregeling'). The Dutch pension legislation is about to completely change in 2026. Negotiations with the unions regarding this matter are about to start. Dutch pensions in general are considered among the highest and most stable in the world. |
