All employees will now automatically become "richer", as the contributions they have accumulated in their pension account will be boosted more than ever before at the turn of the year. In concrete terms, this means that the annual gross pension to which we will later be entitled will now increase by up to 2,000 euros.

The annual pension we have earned so far will now be significantly larger in one fell swoop. The "Krone" sheds light on the reasons for the record increase and shows in a clear graphic how much richer employees will be from January 1, 2025, depending on their age and gender. Also: who will benefit most from the revaluation.
