ABP Supplementary Pension

ABP Extra Pension

ABP Extra Pension allows you to save for a supplement to your pension via your ABP pension. This scheme is voluntary; you decide for yourself whether you want to participate. You pay into ABP Extra Pension via your gross salary. You are legally entitled to accrue a certain amount of pension tax-free. This means that you do not pay tax or employee contributions on the salary you save through ABP Extra Pension.

How much extra can you pay in?

Be aware that the amount you pay into ABP Extra Pension may not exceed your scope for pension tax relief for the current calendar year. Your scope for pension tax relief is the difference between your extra pension and the amount of pension you are already accruing.

Your contribution to ABP Extra Pension must not exceed your scope for pension tax relief for the current calendar year. To be eligible for ABP Extra Pension, you must have sufficient tax scope, which is different for everyone. It is possible that you have no tax scope. Your scope for pension tax relief is published annually in MijnABP around mid-May.

How can you supplement your pension?
If you have sufficient tax scope, there are several ways to contribute through your gross salary:

• A fixed amount per month
• A one-off contribution
• Incidental contributions (e.g., from your holiday allowance or end-of-year-end bonus)

You can supplement your pension as long as you are in employment and you accrue a pension with ABP via your employer.  

More information about ABP Extra Pension and a calculation tool can be found on the ABP website.
