Early retirement age
The early retirement age is the age you have when you can begin your early retirement.
To be eligible for early retirement benefits on the day when you reach your early retirement age, you must have been a member and paid early retirement contributions long enough.
The early retirement age is adapted to the state pension age which differs depending on your age.

The state pension age is determined by law and adjusted every fifth year. The most recent adjustment of the state pension age was made in December 2020.
The state pension age is expected to increase gradually and therefore also the early retirement age which is 3 years before the state pension age.
