Pension 1-2-3: layer 1

Through your employer you accrue pension with PPF APG. This is laid down in your collective labor agreement (‘CAO’). In this ‘Pension 1-2-3’ you can read what you will and will not receive in our pension scheme. This is important to know, for example if you change jobs. Pension 1-2-3 does not contain any personal information about your pension. You can find that information on www.mijnpensioenoverzicht.nl, on your annual Uniform Pension Overview (‘UPO’) and on My PPF APG.

What you will find in layer 1, 2 en 3

Pension 1-2-3 consists of 3 layers. In the first layer, you briefly read the important information about your pension scheme. In layer 2 (Dutch) you will find more information about all topics in layer 1. And in layer 3 (Dutch) you will find legal and policy information from PPF APG. 

Please note that only layer 1 is available in English. Layer 2 en 3, the links in this article and the legal documents are all in Dutch. For more detailed information about your pension scheme you can contact your HR department. 

This is layer 1.

drie_pijlers
You accrue pension in three ways:
A. AOW: you receive this pension from the government. You can read more about the AOW on the website of the Sociale Verzekeringsbank.
B. Pension with PPF APG. You build up this pension via your employer. This is what Pension 1-2-3 is about.
C. Pension that you arrange yourself. For example with a life insurance or bank savings.
These three ways are called the ‘three pillars’. Read more about the three pillars
middelloon
Every year you build up a part of your pension. The pension that you build up in this way is the sum of all those pieces. On your retirement date, you will receive this pension for as long as you live. This is called an average salary scheme or in Dutch a ‘middelloon regeling’.

opbouw
You accrue part of your pension annually. You don't do that over your entire gross salary. In 2021, you will not accrue pension over € 14.544,00. This "threshold amount" (or "franchise") is roughly equal to the AOW benefit that you receive from the government from your AOW-retirement age. You accrue 1.738% pension annually over the gross wages minus the threshold amount.

uitkeringszekerheid_risico
The amount of your pension on retirement is not fixed. Your pension may not be able to grow with wage developments in the current collective labor agreement. PPF APG has to deal with risks such as:
  • People are getting older on average. We therefore have to pay the pension for a longer period.
  • Low interest rates make pension more expensive. PPF APG therefore needs more money to be able to make the same pension payout.
  • The results of our investments may be disappointing.
welvaartsvast
We try to let your pension grow every year along with the wages in the current collective labor agreement. This is called indexation. This is only possible if PPF APG's financial situation is good enough. Below you can see how we have indexed the pensions for participants in recent years:
