FAQ
How much can I contribute voluntarily to the German pension?
In 2026, the minimum voluntary contribution is around 103 EUR per month and the maximum is around 1,404 EUR per month. You can choose any amount within this range. Higher contributions build more pension entitlement points (Entgeltpunkte), which directly increase your future monthly pension. Contributions can be paid monthly or as a lump sum for past months within the same calendar year. The exact amounts are adjusted annually.
