Retirement checklist

Planungab 13 J.
The key steps for your retirement provision: read your pension statement, calculate your pension gap, start an ETF savings plan, use your employer's contribution.

Retirement provision checklist (Germany):

✅ Read your pension information letter: comes by post every year. Shows your expected pension

✅ Calculate your pension gap: how much are you missing for your desired standard of living?

✅ Company pension scheme: use the employer contribution (at least 15%)

✅ Check Riester: worthwhile for families with children (€300 allowance per child)

✅ Start an ETF savings plan: 10–20% of net income, MSCI World as the basis

✅ Occupational disability insurance: protection against being unable to work in your job – the earlier, the cheaper

✅ Check regularly: review your provision status every 2–3 years

Did you know? The optimal order: 1) take your employer's contribution to the company pension (free money!), 2) ETF savings plan, 3) Rürup/Riester if appropriate. Most people do it exactly the other way round.
