Times of child-rearing affect the later pension.
But how high is the compensation for the fact that parents often work less in the first few years?
Anyone who brings up children receives
compulsory contributions
to the
statutory pension insurance *
.
This is intended to compensate for the fact that mothers and fathers often work less in the first few years.
What exactly does the
compensation
look like
?
Raising children ensures more pensions for parents
Parents get
up to three years of contribution periods in the statutory pension insurance per child
for the
upbringing of their children
, explains the German Pension Insurance Association in Berlin according to a report by the German Press Agency (dpa).
In addition,
the time up to the age of ten of a child is included
in the
calculation of the later pension
.

These
consideration
times have a positive effect on
pension entitlement
, as the report goes on to say.
Parents could also close gaps in their insurance biography
with
child-rearing periods
.
In addition, a simultaneous
employment subject to compulsory insurance is
rated better in the context of the pension calculation.
This
crediting is
worthwhile, as the report goes on to say: the
entitlement from an employment subject to compulsory insurance
can therefore be
upgraded
by up to 50 percent
in the case of
low earnings
, for example due to
part-time work
, due to
simultaneous child
allowance periods.
“The salary is topped up to a maximum of the average salary.
The average wage in 2020 is around 40,551 euros.
This revaluation is for times from 1992, ”writes dpa.
This would
benefit
insured
persons who had at least 25 insurance years at the beginning of their pension.
In addition, the child must have reached the age of three.
