Your pension accrual will be 1.37% in 2022

The partners in the collective labour agreement – i.e. the employer, the trade unions, and the Works Council – have entered into agreements regarding a fixed pension contribution paid by you and your employer. The accrual percentage which can be granted on the basis of this contribution is calculated each year. Further information about the determination of the contributions and the accrual percentage can be found on the website on this page

Based on the pension contribution paid to the fund, the Board of the Astellas Pension Fund can grant accrual of 1.37% for 2022. That means you will accrue slightly less pension in 2022 than in 2021. To illustrate what the lower accrual rate means for you, we have provided an example calculation below.

_{* The deductible is the amount over which you do not accrue pension because you also receive state pension (AOW).}

No increase to your accrued pension

As money usually becomes worth slightly less each year, we try to increase the pension you already accrued each year (we call this indexation or pension supplementation). The policy coverage ratio presents the fund's financial position. The policy coverage ratio also indicates whether we can increase your pension. Unfortunately, our policy coverage ratio does not allow for an increase in 2022. This means that, for the time being, your accrued pension will not be increased as of 1 January 2022. On the other hand, no reduction is required.

The rules for pension funds with regard to increasing pensions may be changed in the course of 2022. The Board of your pension fund attentively follows the developments of the rules. If these developments may affect your pension, we will inform you of this.
