FAQ
How much is a German widow pension?
The small widow pension pays 25% of the deceased person pension entitlement for up to 24 months. The large widow pension pays 55% (or 60% under older rules) and can last indefinitely. Your own net income above an allowance (EUR 1,122.53 per month since 1 July 2026, the same nationwide) is offset against the benefit at 40%. The exact amount depends on the deceased person contribution history and your personal situation, so an individual review is usually needed.
