Without ever paying in a cent: This is how much pension members of the Bundestag collect. As of: February 19, 2024, 11:21 a.m By: Julia Stanton CommentsPressSplit Although members of Bundestage do not pay pension contributions, they are entitled to a pension: and this is significantly higher than for most German employees.
In 1981 it was decided that MPs would not pay into the pension scheme in order to guarantee their independence. The maximum claim is 65 percent of income, which would be achieved after 26 years of membership.
