You can work without any restrictions while on an old-age pension or early old-age pension. Your earned income does not affect the amount of pension that you receive or your right to receive a pension.
Additional pension is accrued on any work that you perform while on an old-age pension or early old-age pension until the age of 68. Regardless of your age, pension accrues at 1.5% of your annual income. You need to apply separately for this pension, however.
When will I receive pension?
If you receive old-age pension or early old-age pension under the Local Government Pensions Act, the State Employees’ Pensions Act or the Evangelical-Lutheran Church Pensions Act and continue working under the same pensions act after you have retired, you will only receive the new pension accrued from your work during retirement at the age of 68.
If you receive old-age pension under one of the public-sector pensions acts, but continue working under another public-sector pensions act or a private-sector pensions act after you have retired, you will receive the pension accrued from that employment once the employment ends, provided that you have reached your retirement age.
