Germany Sets Out Retirement Options for the 1965 Cohort Under Current Law

An official web tool shows exact start dates with any permanent cuts under the current framework.

Overview

  • People born in 1965 reach the regular pension age of 67 in 2032 with no deductions.
  • Those with at least 45 insured years can retire at 65 in 2030 without reductions under the "particularly long-term insured" route.
  • With 35 insured years, retirement is possible from 63 in 2028, with a permanent 0.3% reduction per month early, totaling 14.4% for four years.
  • Recognized severely disabled persons with 35 insured years can start at 62 in 2027 with a lifelong 10.8% reduction.
  • The Deutsche Rentenversicherung’s Rentenbeginnrechner requires only a birthdate plus two yes/no inputs, shows earliest and regular start dates with percentage cuts, and provides non-binding results based on current law; insured persons should also review their DRV statements and account records.
