1. What is the Luxembourg Pension Calculation?

The Luxembourg state pension calculation determines the annual pension amount based on the reference amount and years contributed. The pension is reduced by 1/40 per missing year if at least 20 years of contributions have been made.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Luxembourg pension formula:

Where:

• \( Reference\ Amount \) — 90% of reference for 40 years (EUR)
• \( Years\ Contributed \) — Number of years contributed (20-40 years)

Explanation: The formula calculates the proportional pension amount based on the ratio of actual years contributed to the maximum 40-year period.

3. Importance of Pension Calculation

Details: Accurate pension calculation is crucial for retirement planning, understanding expected retirement income, and ensuring financial security during retirement years in Luxembourg.

4. Using the Calculator
