Pension increases: the 2025-2026 timetable you need to know
Concrete example of impact:
Let's take a retiree receiving a basic pension of €1,000 and a supplementary pension of €600, totaling €1,600 per month.
January 2025: +2.2% on the basic pension = approximately +€22 per month, or €264 per year.
November 2025: +0.6% to +0.8% on the supplementary pension = +€3.60 to +€4.80 per month, or €43 to €58 per year.
In 2025, this retiree will therefore gain approximately €310 to €320 more.
In 2026, a +1.2% increase on the basic pension would represent approximately +€12 per month, or €144 per year. But if the "blank year" were to return, this increase would disappear.
