A look at post-retirement income

Analysis
Read aloud

By and large, households in the Netherlands are able to replace approximately 60% of their previous income with a state pension (AOW) and supplementary retirement income, and 63% if savings are included.

Expected pension income varies substantially between types of workers and socio-economic groups.
