Anyone who thinks that they can retire at the age of 63 should check this carefully. It can be clarified with the pension insurance whether there is an entitlement to it or what requirements are still missing. After that, it should be examined whether deductions must be paid in the event of early retirement at the age of 63. According to the German Pension Insurance, there can be deductions of up to 14.4 percent if you retire after 35 years of insurance. If you were born before 1953 and retire at 45 after 63 years of insurance, you do not have to pay any deductions.

Retirement at 63 usually means a lower pension

If you retire at the age of 63, you should keep in mind that less pension is likely to end up in your account. This is done for the simple reason that it has been paid into the pension fund for less time. If you work longer, you can significantly increase your pension. With the pension calculator of the German Pension Insurance, the pension should be calculated exactly. Although there are some subsidies for pensioners, the pension will probably almost always be lower than when they retire at regular retirement age.
