How the Spain Pension Calculator Works?

Our Spain Pension Calculator simplifies the complex pension formula into an easy-to-use tool. Here’s a glimpse of what happens behind the scenes:

1. Regulatory Base Calculation:
   • The calculator sums your contribution bases (e.g., average annual salary over 25 years) and divides it by 350 to determine the regulatory base.
   • Example: If your total contribution base is €525,000, the regulatory base is 525,000350=€1,500\frac{525,000}{350} = €1,500350525,000​=€1,500.
2. Percentage Based on Contributions:
   • A 15-year contribution earns 50% of the regulatory base, increasing linearly to 100% for 37.5 years or more.
   • Example: With 30 years of contributions, you receive 86% of the regulatory base.
3. Retirement Adjustment:
   • For early retirement, a penalty of 0.5% per month is applied. For delayed retirement, a bonus of 0.2% per month is added.
   • Example: Retiring 2 years early reduces the pension by 12%.
4. Final Calculation:
   • The regulatory base is multiplied by the adjusted percentage to yield your monthly pension.

Backend Example: Suppose you contributed for 30 years with an average annual salary of €30,000 and plan to retire at 63. The calculator computes:

• Regulatory Base: €1,500
• Percentage: 86% – (0.5% × 24 months) = 74%
• Monthly Pension: €1,500 × 0.74 = €1,110
