How the Early start pension works

The Early start pension is designed to lay the foundation for retirement during childhood in order to close the pension gap early on. Children of the age 6 to 17 profit of the these advantages:

  • Government support: €10 monthly government allowance (total of €1,440) – with no personal savings obligation.

  • ETF focus: The subsidy is invested directly in the capital market in low-cost ETFs.

  • Tax-free: All returns and gains are tax-free during the accumulation phase.

What happens then? Once your child reaches the age of majority, they simply take over the custody account themselves. It remains a state-subsidised Retirement account – including further subsidies.
