After the domestic pensioners have had to pay higher health insurance contributions since June because of the savings package, there is now better news again: pensions will increase sharply from the beginning of 2026. KONE+ shows how much more remains from January – both gross and net.
Only 9.7 percent (2024), then 4.6 percent (2025) – and now it continues later: the pension references will increase again next year. We analyze the reasons for this and list, depending on the pension, to stay more per month from 2026 gross and network. An effect ensures that the net references increase automatically this time. De Downer: This time a group only gets half an increase in the pensioners.
