The earnings-related pension amount and pension record
Earnings-related pension accrues from work. The longer you work, the higher a pension you will receive. The pension accrues for employees from annual earnings and for self-employed persons from the YEL income in accordance with age-related accrual percentages. Pension is also accrued from some social benefits and work done alongside a pension. The life expectancy coefficient will have a reducing effect on the amount of pensions.
