Main Tax Effects of Early Retirement Pension in Delft

Your tax position changes drastically with early retirement pension. Core consequences:

  • Increased tax burden: No employment allowance anymore (€5,052, 2024), higher income tax on pension
  • Revision interest: Up to 20% on stamped-off capital to the Tax Authorities
  • AOW gap: No AOW until age 67 (€1,400 net/month missed, 2024)
  • Permanent discount: 5-8% lower pension per early year, for life
  • No accrual: Less pension accrual due to shorter working years

In Delft-resident cases: income drop 20-35%. Have it calculated at Juridisch Loket Delft.

Tax Burden with Early Retirement

Employees benefit from general tax credit (€3,362, 2024) + employment allowance (max. €5,052). Pension income: only tax credit.

2024 rates

  • Bracket 1 (up to €75,624): 36.97%
  • Bracket 2 (above €75,624): 49.50%

Modal income €40,000: employee effectively 15-20% income tax, retiree 25-30%. Difference: €4,000-€6,000 net less/year. Specific to Delft: check disputes at District Court The Hague.

Revision Interest: What and When?

Revision interest: one-time tax on stamping off pension accrual for early retirement. Tax advantage in accrual phase is reclaimed.

Calculation

Max. 20% on stamped-off amount. Depending on:

  • Early retirement years
  • Pension capital
  • Pension fund actuarial factors

Delft example: €400,000 capital, 3 years early: €100,000 stamping off → €20,000 revision interest. Pay immediately/in installments. Ask pension fund and Juridisch Loket Delft for advice.

NB: Only on stamping off, not on standard early retirement without capital reduction.

AOW Gap: Large Income Gap

AOW gap: period of early retirement pension until AOW age (67 years, 2024). Monthly missed: circa €1,400 net (full AOW). For 3 years early retirement: €50,000+ net loss.

In Delft: consider bridge pension or part-time work. Legal check at District Court The Hague for pension scheme disputes.

Calculate Your Net Impact

Income decline formula: (Employment allowance loss + Revision interest + AOW gap + Pension discount) / Continued work income.

Delft example: 65-year-old, €45,000 pension/year at AOW. Early 3 years: -€9,000 employment allowance, -€18,000 revision interest, -€50,000 AOW gap (3 yrs), -15% pension = total €30,000+ loss first years.
