Now, the prognosis ready for retirement in 2016 – Expressen

Now, the prognosis is ready for the pension will be 2016.

The income pension will increase by 4.2 percent, which on average will average 340 per month after tax.

– It is a very, very good increase, says Minister for Social Annika Strandhäll, S .

It’s Pensions Agency that has made calculations for the forecast for pensioners will be in 2016 and at 13.00 today, the authority will provide full forecast.

– It is this information that the government has gone out now, it increased by 4.2 percent. We will show how it can look for different income categories at 13.00 today. Then you see how much is involved in monetary terms, says Pension Agency’s press secretary Anna Ryberg.

During the government’s summer refreshments on Thursday announced Minister for Social Annika Strandhäll that she is pleased with the decision and tell the government to reduce tax on pensions next year and higher housing supplement.

– Pensions Agency has provided a definitive answer to how much income pension will be raised next year. It is a very, very good increase, says Minister for Social Annika Strandhäll, S.

What does this mean?

– It will involve a number of hundred kronor more in their wallet. A good reinforcement. And it is the combination of increases in income pensions and the government’s tax cuts coupled with higher housing supplement.

According to the minister, the increase in history.

– This is the best performance since the current system was introduced, she says.

How do you see the long term on the pension?

– It is a challenge for us. We are living longer and are becoming healthier and it puts a strain on our pensions. We look at several things to strengthen pensions. It can be about to start working earlier or to work longer, but also other things. There is much that we are looking at.

According to Stefan Granbom, an analyst at the Swedish Pensions Agency, will uplift imply SEK 340 extra a month for a person with average pension. But it is not everyone’s pension will increase.

– Those who serve around 8,000 in state pension will reduced pension while receiving 9000 and older receive higher pensions, says Stefan Granbom.

Those with the lowest pension will therefore receive her pension reduced by up to 30 crowns.

– The same goes for those who have a pension during 12000 million and housing, says Stefan Granholm.

The reason that the lowest pensions are lowered is that they are designed to have a stable purchasing power, whatever happens.

– Right now it’s falling prices and then also lowered the lowest pensions – the so-called guaranteed pension. When prices increase, so will be raised. Income and supplementary pension – the kind of retirement that most people have – is not affected by price fluctuations as much, explains Ole Settergren, Head of Research at the Swedish Pensions Agency.

On the other hand, have a higher pension, at such SEK 25 000, you get an increase of 513 kronor after taxes, he says.

Eva Adolphsson, pensions expert at Alecta:

– It was fun and good. One can say that it will hit very different depending how large an income you have. It is only to check the income-have this year in pension statement and increases to the 4.2 per cent so you will see how it will turn, she says.

The average income pension was in June month 64 727 SEK per year.
