What your result means

Notes · updated live
Special payments taxed favourably

The four special payments of your Ruhebezug, 50 % each in March, June, September and December, are taxed at just 6 % under the §67 special-payment rule (after the allowance), far below the regular tariff.

Pension increase 2027

From January 2027 pensions rise: 2.95 % up to €6,930.00, + €204.44 above €6,930.00. Your gross pension goes up by €64.87 to €2,263.87. Under the 2027 rules that leaves €1,965.26 net a month, €51.85 more than now. If you only retired in 2026, the first adjustment is just 50 % of the increase, so €32.44 more gross on your pension. The pension increase guide shows the net at every pension level.

What your pension is really worth

With the 2026 pension adjustment your pension rose from €2,141.19 to €2,199.00 gross a month; net it rose by €550 a year. Prices rose 3.20% (provisional), so in real terms your net pension loses €293 a year. The line shows the same pension since 2016, stepped back through each adjustment, including one-off payments such as those of 2022 and 2023, in 2026 euros. The pension increase guide shows how pensions and prices have moved since 2002.

How your gross pension becomes your net pension

Two contributions are deducted from a federal civil servant's Ruhebezug: health insurance under the B-KUVG (6 % since 1 June 2025, 4.9 % before) and the Pensionssicherungsbeitrag under § 13a Pensionsgesetz. Its rate depends on the year the Ruhebezug began: 2.1 % before 1999, a little less each year after, plus 1 % since 2004; for a Ruhebezug from 2020 it usually does not apply at all. Both also apply to the special payments.

Wage tax follows the income-tax tariff, after both contributions. As with any pension you get the pensioner tax credit, not the flat expense allowance. Instead of a 13th and 14th pension there are four special payments of 50 % each in March, June, September and December, taxed favourably like special payments. The table combines them into two half-year columns.

Gross pensions in Austria per month. Your pension is about the 2026 (forecast) median of €2,199. By the forecast, the middle half lies between €1,352 and €3,256. Figures from 2025 are a forecast (shaded in the chart): the published 2024 values carried forward with the statutory pension adjustment. The actual median has so far risen a little faster every year, because new pensions are higher.

Questions about your net pension

6 % health insurance under the B-KUVG is deducted from a federal civil servant's Ruhebezug, from every monthly payment and from the special payments, up to the contribution ceiling. On top comes the Pensionssicherungsbeitrag under § 13a Pensionsgesetz, whose rate depends on the start year; the calculator shows it as its own row.
From a federal civil servant's Ruhebezug, 6 % health insurance under the B-KUVG and the Pensionssicherungsbeitrag are deducted; its rate depends on the start year (for a Ruhebezug since 2010, for example, 2.28 %). Wage tax then follows with the pensioner tax credit as for any pension. Instead of a 13th and 14th pension there are four special payments of 50 % each. Choose the pension type "Civil-service pension (federal)" and your start year above.
A credit taken straight off the wage tax. In 2026 it is €1,020.00 a year and phases out evenly from ongoing pension income of €21,614.00 to zero at €31,494.00. For pensioners it replaces the employees’ commuter credit.
If you are married or in a registered partnership for more than six months of the year, your partner earns at most €2,720.00 a year and you are not entitled to the single-earner credit. In 2026 it is up to €1,502.00. Cohabiting is not enough.
Like employees’ special payments: after health insurance the first €620 are tax-free and 6 % applies above that. Below a yearly threshold the payment is entirely tax-free. They are paid with the April and October pension; more under 13th and 14th pension.
Yes, through the social-insurance refund: in the annual tax return 2026, 80 % of your health-insurance contributions are refunded, up to €723.00 a year. The monthly pension statement does not include it.
Yes, pensioners are entitled to the Familienbonus Plus, the single-earner and single-parent credits just like employees. The pension office only applies them if you claim them on form E 30; otherwise they come through the annual tax return.
