What does our pension scheme cover?

When you retire, you will start to receive a retirement pension. Officially, your pension with us will start on the 1st day of the month after your 68th birthday. However, you may also retire early or defer your pension.

If you die, your partner will receive a partner's pension and your children will receive an orphan's pension. Your partner will also receive a temporary partner’s pension until his or her statutory retirement date.

If you become disabled, You will continue to accrue a pension. However, your pension contributions will either be lower or stop altogether. We will also supplement your state benefit if you earn more than the maximum salary stipulated by the WIA. In 2024, this is € 71.628,84. Read more about this at 'What do I need to do... sick or disabled'.

If you would like to know exactly which rules apply, see our pension regulations in layer 3. If you would prefer to receive a hard-copy version of our regulations, please request this via contact or ask your employer for an explanation.

In layer 2 in My pension you can read more about these subjects (only available in Dutch).

What is not covered by our pension scheme?

Our pension scheme covers everything that is important for your retirement, because you accrue a retirement pension, a partner's pension and an orphan's pension with us. If you become disabled, we will supplement your state benefit if you earn more than the maximum salary stipulated by the WIA. Although you will continue to accrue a pension, your pension contributions will either be lower or stop altogether.

In layer 2 in My pension you can read more about this subject (only available in Dutch).

How do you accrue a pension?

You accrue pension income in 3 ways:
A. State (AOW) pension: you will receive this from the government if you live or work in the Netherlands. Read more at SVB.nl.
B. Your pension with us: you accrue this through your employer. The Pensioen 1-2-3 is about this pension.
C. Income that you arrange yourself (in the form of general savings, an annuity or savings in a blocked account with your bank (banksparen).

Each year, you accrue a portion of your pension; your total pension is the sum of each portion. This is called an average salary scheme. You will start to receive this life-long pension when you retire.

Although you accrue pension every year, the amount you accrue will not be based on your full gross salary. You will not accrue any pension on € 17,545.- annually (2024), because we take your future state pension into account. In this scheme, you will accrue a pension of 1.875% on the salary remaining but only up to a salary of € 137,800,- annually (2024).

We receive contributions for your pension. Your payslips specify your share of the contributions paid. Your employer contributes too.

In layer 2 in My pension you can read more about these subjects (only available in Dutch).

Which options do you have?

If you change employer and move to a different pension fund or pension insurer, you can transfer your ‘old’ pension to your new pension scheme. This is known as a value transfer.

If you would like to compare our pension scheme with another pension scheme, you can do this via the pension comparison calculator in layer 3 of this Pensioen 1-2-3 at My pension.

If you are about to retire, you can choose to swap pensions. For example, you could convert the partner’s pension into extra pension for yourself, or vice versa. You could also convert part of your retirement pension into extra pension for your partner.

If you would like to retire earlier than the age of 68, you will be able to do so 5 years before your statutory retirement date at the earliest and 5 years after your statutory retirement date at the latest. You may want to discuss this with your employer.

If you would like to receive a higher pension in the initial 5 or 10 years, followed by a lower pension later (or vice versa), you can opt for an arrangement of this nature when you retire. You might want to do this if payment of your state retirement pension will start at a later date.

If you would like to see all of the choices open to you - for example, extra pension for your partner and your retirement options.

In layer 2 in My pension you can read more about these subjects (only available in Dutch).

How secure is your pension?

Your pension is not secure because it is subject to risk. For example:

  • People are living longer on average, because of which we are having to pay pensions to them longer.
  • Low interest rates make pensions more expensive. Because of this, our pension fund needs more money to be able to pay the same pension amount.
  • Our investments may fail to achieve the returns envisaged.

The participants' pensions are increased annually on 1 January in line with the rise in prices. Participants who have been employed since a date before 1 January 2016 and who have always accrued pension with J&J OFP Pension Fund will receive an increase of between 1.5% and 4% up to and including 2025. If prices have risen more than 4% in any year, the allowance for that year is renegotiated between the employers and the works councils. As of 1 January 2022 (over 2021), the pension has been increased by 3.4% for all participants.

In recent years, we have increased participants’ pensions as follows:

  increase-1
Employed before 1-1-2016
increase-2
Employed on or after 1-1-2016
