How much pension will you get?

Estimate your Cyprus statutory (Social Insurance) old-age pension — together with your government gratuity or Provident Fund. On the 2026 figures, net of GESY and income tax.
YEAR OF BIRTH
WORKING SINCE (YEAR)
Optionally add the month for a more precise estimate: 3/1985 · 6/2016 — or just the year.
One line per job or period: from–to, status, and the GROSS income of that time — each year turns into points automatically.

STATUS TODAY
IN THE CIVIL SERVICE SINCE (YEAR)
The year you were appointed to the civil service — the scale ladder starts there.
SCALE PATH
Appointed before 1/1/2012 — the reduced entry scale does not apply to you.
Quick builds the path from the official Α1–Α16 steps (each year's own table): one increment per year, promotion at the next-higher step, and you finish at the top of the final scale.
With “my record”, the scale drives ONLY the future years — the past is covered by the points you entered. The appointment year locates today's rung; from there: one increment per year, promotion to the next-higher step, and you finish at the top of the final scale.
GROSS ANNUAL INCOME
€
Your FIRST working year's income (2007), in that year's euros — the path starts there and grows by the raise you set. ≈ €1.250/month. Your insurable income — this is what buys the points.
SALARIES / YEAR
The 13th (and 14th) salary is insurable — it counts fully toward your points and pension.
ANNUAL RAISE
€
The salary stays the same in nominal euros for the whole path — no raise is projected at all.
Your salary is cast back and forward with your own raise, and every year divides by its own BIE.

BIE AFTER 2026
BIE = Basic Insurable Earnings: the state’s yardstick salary, set each year (€11,480 for 2026). Pension points = income ÷ BIE — which is why how it moves after 2026 changes the estimate, and you pick the scenario here.
How future BIE are projected — three documented scenarios, grounded in the official table.
YEARS OUT OF WORK (TOTAL)
Studies, unemployment, abroad, caring — years without Cyprus contributions.
DEPENDANTS AT RETIREMENT
A spouse without their own pension/income, or minor children then. They raise the basic pension to 80/90/100%.
CLAIM AGE
Statutory age: 65. At 63–64 a permanent −0.5%/month (up to −12%) applies, plus a 70% density condition. Deferral to 68 adds +0.5%/month.
YOUR ESTIMATE · 2050
You meet the conditions: 2.236 weeks of insurance, 42 paid points.

WHICH AGE PAYS?
Thinking 63–64? The reduction is counted per month (0.5%). With your birth month it makes a difference of up to +€34/month, for life — type it above: 3/1985.
Net monthly pension by claim age — the reduction/increase is permanent, for the life of the pension.
COMPARED TO TODAY
Net today €1.106,88/month → pension €623,79/month = 61% of your current income.
If that percentage scares you, you're not alone — that's what provident funds and private pensions are for. Discuss it with a professional.
BALANCE ON 1.1.2026 (€)
From your fund statement for end-2025 — 2026 contributions are computed from here, never double-counted.
YOUR CONTRIBUTION (%)
EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION (%)
Percent of gross salary, each. Typical in Cyprus: 5% + 5% (range 3–10%).
RETURN SCENARIO
Three average-annual-return scenarios, tied to published Cyprus data — see where each comes from.
÷ BIE = the Basic Insurable Earnings the year's salary is divided by to become insurance points — per the official rule, the FOLLOWING year's BIE.

Calculating your pension in Cyprus — what to know

How is the old-age pension calculated in Cyprus?

Each year your insurable earnings convert into insurance points: earnings ÷ basic insurable earnings (€11,480 for 2026, capped at 6 points — ceiling €68,904). The pension has two parts: the basic (60% of your average basic points from age 16 to retirement — full rate €529.82/month in 2026, increased to 80/90/100% with dependants) and the supplementary (1.5% × total supplementary points × the basic insurable earnings, roughly €13.25 per point per month). Pensions are paid 13 times a year.

Can I retire at 63 in Cyprus?

Yes, with two conditions: a permanent actuarial reduction of 0.5% for every month before 65 (up to −12% at 63), and an insurance density of at least 70% of your reference years — effectively a near-full career. The statutory age is 65; deferring up to 68 increases the pension by 0.5% per month (+18% at 68). Both adjustments are permanent for the life of the pension.

How many years of contributions do I need for a Cyprus pension?

You need at least 780 weeks (15 years) of paid contributions with at least 15 paid basic-insurance points, and total points of at least 30% of the years since you turned 16. With less, you may be entitled to an old-age lump sum instead, or to the social pension (€429.15/month in 2026) at 65 with 20 years' residence in Cyprus.

Does it also calculate the lump sum or a Provident Fund?

Yes — below the year-by-year table, the “Lump sum & Provident Fund” card covers both. For government employees it estimates the retirement gratuity automatically under the statutory formulas: annual pension × 14/3, service to 31.12.2012 at the final salary, from 1.1.2013 on the whole-career average, a 400-month total service cap, the ½-of-final-emoluments ceiling and the actuarial reduction of part B on early retirement — as in the Treasury's official worked examples; for the tax treatment consult the competent authority or a professional. For employees and the self-employed it projects your Provident Fund balance to retirement, applying your contribution percentages to the same salary path with three documented return scenarios, in nominal euros and in today's purchasing power.
