Pensions for those who are self-employed
For freelancers, sole trader companies (ENK) or those only employed by their own private limited company (AS).
Save for your own pension
Being self-employed has its benefits, but in terms of pensions, it’s not a major advantage. To ensure you get a retirement pension in addition to the National Insurance Scheme it’s therefore up to you to sort this out.
You can establish a defined-contribution pension agreement and save up to 7% of your salary up to 12 G.
Who is this suitable for?
This is a form of saving that is best suited to self-employed people, freelancers, people with sole proprietorships or who run a business alongside their job.
- If you have a salary of over 7.1 G we recommend you begin this saving.
- If you have a salary between 6 and 7.1 G, you can think about beginning this saving.
When you establish a pension agreement with us, you will also receive an insurance policy called Waiver of contribution. This ensures that savings continue until you become 67 years old if you should become incapacitated to work after 12 months of sick leave.
