Each year, the board reviews whether pensions will be increased. We would like the pension to rise with the prices. As of 1 January 2025, pensions will increase by 1.98%.
What does the increase mean for you?
The pension increase applies to everyone who builds up a pension with the Pensioenfonds hospitality & Catering. Even if you are already retired, your gross benefit will increase accordingly.
How do we determine if an increase is possible?
Increasing pensions is subject to rules from the pension regulations. To be able to increase pensions as of 1 January 2025, we look at the price Your career calculated by the CBS between September 2023 and September 2024 (CPI derived) and the level of the funding ratio. Prices rose by 2.5% during this period, and the funding ratio was 135%. Therefore, the board has decided to increase pensions as of 1 January 2025.
Price increases and your pension
Money becomes slightly less valuable each year due to price increases. As a result, in ten years, you can buy less with one hundred euros than you can now. This also makes accrued pensions and pension benefits less valuable. To keep the value of your pension as high as possible, we annually determine whether we can increase pensions based on agreements set out in the pension regulations. This is also known as ‘granting an allowance’ or ‘indexation’.
