Retirement insurance

Flexibility to have a lump sum paid. You chose the size of the amount.

A retirement insurance provides flexibility to have a lump sum paid as a supplement to the lifelong retirement pension benefits. The retirement insurance can be paid in instalments which gives you the flexibility to have an optional amount paid. In P+ the minimum payment is DKK 50,000, and you can receive one instalment per calendar year.

If you want a progressive withdrawal from the labour market, you have the possibility of choosing a partial retirement, e.g. by having the lifelong retirement pension paid and postpone the retirement insurance or vice versa.

You can see your pension covers on Min pension. Here you can also see when they can be paid and get a pension forecast at different ages. If you are paying contributions, the pension forecast presupposes that the payment is continued until the given age. You can find Assumptions for calculation of the pensions here


If you have pension schemes in other companies or banks, you can log on to PensionsInfo. When you have a pension scheme in several companies, you should be aware that the pension benefits are not necessarily payable at the same age. Normally, it appears from PensionsInfo when the pension benefits can be paid.

In the event of death, the savings are paid to the beneficiaries. This applies both if you die during the payment period and before payment has started.

If payment is made to children and/or a cohabitant through more than 2 years, the estate tax accounts for 15 percent. On payment to others than the above-mentioned, the estate tax accounts for 36,25 percent (estate tax and supplementary estate tax).

You can have the retirement insurance paid when you reach your pension age at the earliest, and it must be paid in full after 20 years at the latest. The retirement insurance can be paid in instalments which gives you flexibility in planning your life as a pensioner.
