Earnings-related pension index

All earnings-related pensions being paid out are adjusted each year at the beginning of January by the earnings-related pension index. The earnings-related pension index for the year is usually known in late October of the previous year.

There is no need to apply separately for the index increase as Keva adds it to your pension automatically at the beginning of each year.

When you are retired, you will receive personal information about the amount of your pension for the following year in an annual letter in either December or January. You can read the annual letter digitally in the My pension online service or have it sent in paper format to your home.

How the earnings-related pension index is determined

The Ministry of Social Affairs and Health confirms the earnings-related pension index.

The earnings-related pension index is determined on the basis of the annual change in the wages and price level. When calculating the index, the change in wages accounts for 20% and the change in prices for 80%.
