Retirement in Portugal: pension income and savings

Turn a personal pension forecast into a retirement budget in euros. Compare the income you expect with spending and see how savings can cover the difference.

01

Get a forecast from the right institution

Portugal's official retirement guide directs Segurança Social contributors to its pension simulator and CGA members to the CGA tools. Choose the forecast matching your contribution record and intended date. Convert gross amounts to your own after-tax estimate; this calculator does not reproduce either institution's benefit calculation.

02

Include the annual extra payments

Segurança Social's old-age pension guide provides for extra payments in July and December. CGA publishes its own schedule, with holiday and Christmas payments in July and November. Use the expected net annual total appropriate to your scheme, including applicable supplements, divided by 12. A partial first year needs separate checking.

03

Separate savings from pension income

Keep your accessible savings separate from income already entered from an occupational or private pension. If a PPR or other product funds those payments, do not also count the same capital as available savings. Check your contract before assuming access. Future lump sums and product-specific tax rules are outside this model.

Using the calculator

  1. Obtain a personal Segurança Social, CGA or other pension forecast. Check its start date, whether it is gross or net, and whether amounts use current or future prices.
  2. Enter after-tax monthly averages in today's euros, using annual net totals divided by 12. Give each stream its own dates; do not add a combined forecast and its component pensions together.
  3. Add accessible savings, planned saving and retirement spending. Test a later pension start or lower return. For early retirement, update the pension amount from an official forecast instead of simply changing its start age.
