The amount of pension granted is determined by applying the general percentage  according to the number of years contributed to BP and, if applicable, the additional percentage for prolonging their working life, when retiring above the ordinary retirement age at any time and the applicable reduction quotient.

Percentage applicable in 2026:

The percentage varies depending on the number of years the individual has been making Social Security contributions. A scale is applied that begins with 50% at 15 years, increasing from the sixteenth year by 0.21% for each additional contribution month from month 1 to month 49, and by 0.19% for those who pass month 49, with the percentage applicable to the base pension never exceeding 100%,  except in cases where the individual accesses their pension at a later age than is applicable to them.

Percentage applicable from 2027:

The percentage varies depending on the number of years the individual has been making Social Security contributions. A scale is applied that begins with 50% at 15 years, increasing  from the sixteenth year by 0.19% for each additional contribution month from month 1 to month 248, and by 0.18% for those who pass month 248, with the percentage applicable to the base pension never exceeding 100%, except in cases where the individual accesses their pension at a later age than is applicable to them.

Transitional maintenance of maternity supplement

People who, on 4-2-2021, were receiving the demographic contribution maternity supplement will continue to receive it.

The receipt of the maternity supplement will be incompatible with the new contributory pension supplement for the reduction of the gender gap, and the persons concerned may choose between one or the other.

If the other parent of one of the children who was entitled to the maternity supplement applies for the contributory pension supplement and is entitled to receive it, the monthly amount recognised shall be deducted from the maternity supplement, with financial effects from the first day of the month following that of the decision, provided that the decision is issued within six months of the application or, where applicable, of the recognition of the pension that gave rise to it; after this period, the effects shall take effect from the first day of the seventh month following that of the decision.

Supplement for the reduction of the gender gap

The contributory pension supplement for the reduction of the gender gap replaces the maternity supplement for demographic contribution with a financial supplement for the reduction of the gender gap. Each child may entitle only one of the parents to a supplement (the parent receiving the smaller public pension will receive the supplement). The recognition of the allowance for the second parent shall entail the extinction of the allowance already recognised for the first parent.

The amount to be received is limited to four times the monthly amount fixed per child. The amount is fixed annually in the LPGE".

Percentage applicable to those who fall under legislation prior to 01/01/2013:

The percentage varies depending on the number of years the individual has been making Social Security contributions. A scale is applied that begins with 50% at 15 years, increasing by 3% for each additional year between the sixteenth and twenty-fifth year and 2% from the twenty-sixth year until reaching 100% at 35 years.

The contribution years to take into account are those made:

    • To the General Social Security System.

    • To the different Special Social Security Systems.

    • To the former Old Age Insurance and Disability  Systems and/or Labour Union.

    • To the integrated Systems, including those prior to the introduction of these if they count towards the right to the benefits they give rise to.

    • To other Social Security Entities, which act as substitutes for those corresponding to the regime or regimes that are yet to be integrated.

    • Contributions paid to the State Pensioners Regime.(Régimen de Clases Pasivas del Estado).

    • To the Public Administrations and organisations attached to them prior to 01-01-59 by personnel who did not hold civil servant positions.

    • The contributions  of staff in the Justice System shall be treated as periods of contributions where there is a difference between the periods actually worked as shown on the certificate of service and those shown on the certificate of contributions. These periods will not be included in the databases of the Social Security General Treasury and will therefore be treated as having contributed, at the request of the person concerned, at the time when the corresponding pension is paid or reviewed.

Rules for calculating the contribution years:

If contributions are made after 01-01-67, all the days for which contributions were made will be taken into account and the total number of days will be divided by 365 to get the number of years of contributions. A fraction of a year cannot be counted as a full year, given that, once the first fifteen years of contributions are completed, the percentage applicable to the pension base increases with each additional month in which contributions are made.

If contributions were made prior to 01-01-67, the number of contribution years is calculated by dividing the total number of contribution days by 365 (without rounding up a fraction of a year to a full year) obtained from the sum of the following contributions:

  • Days of contributions to the General System and other regimes from 01-01-67.
  • Days of contributions to Old Age Insurance and Labour Unions between 01-01-60 and 31-12-66, provided these do not overlap.
  • The bonus days which correspond to the worker, according to the age reached on 01-01-67, as long as contributions are accredited to the Old Age and Disability Insurance and/or Labour Insurance, in accordance with the following scale:

  • The base rate for retirement pensions and Permanent Disability benefit is reached using the general rule.
  • For the purpose of determining the amount of retirement pensions and Permanent Disability pensions due to Common Disease, in the case of part-time work, all the periods during which the worker has been on sick leave shall be taken into consideration, regardless of the length of the working day.
  • The percentage to be applied to the respective base rate will be determined in accordance with the general scale (Article 210  and  ninth transitional provision of the General Law on Social Security), and will take into account the days on which the worker has been registered, irrespective of the length of the working day.

(*) Exemption from contributions of workers aged 65 or over:

From 01-01-2013:

Employers and employees shall be exempt from paying Social Security contributions for common contingencies, except for temporary disability arising as a result, in respect of employees, as well as worker or worker-members of cooperatives, once they have reached the age to access the retirement pension applicable in each case.

The contribution exemption also covers contributions for unemployment, the Wage Guarantee Fund and vocational training.

The exemptions shall not apply to contributions relating to workers who provide their services to public administrations or public bodies regulated in Law 40/2015, of 1 October, on the Legal Regime of the Public Sector.

The periods for which this exemption applies shall be counted as periods in which contributions have been paid for the purposes of access to and determination of the amount of benefits. 

To whom does the legislation prior to 01-01-2013 apply:

Employers and workers will be exempt from paying Social Security contributions for unemployment, the Wage Guarantee Fund, vocational training and common contingencies, except for temporary disability arising from this, in respect of those workers employed by others with indefinite-term employment contracts, as well as worker or worker members of cooperatives, provided that are aged 65 or over and can prove 35 or more years of effective Social Security contributions, without the proportional parts of special payments being taken into account for these purposes.

If, on reaching the age of 65, the worker has not paid contributions for 35 years, the exemption shall be applicable from the date on which 35 years of actual contributions are credited.

The exemptions shall not apply to contributions relating to workers who render their services in the public administrations or public bodies regulated in Title III of Law 6/1997 of 14 April 1997 on the organisation and functioning of the General State Administration.
