Enter your date of birth to see your pension age. Add a start month to see how claiming early or late changes the amount.
How it's calculated
- If you turned 60 before September 2025, your pension age is 60. If you turn 60 between September 2025 and August 2026, it is 61, and it rises by one year for each later group up to 65 for people turning 60 from September 2029.
- The basic retirement pension is Rs 15,555 a month. The State Age Pension is worked out on Rs 15,555 for people turning 60 from January 2026 to August 2029, and on Rs 16,555 for people turning 60 from September 2029.
- Each month you claim before pension age cuts the amount by 0.5%. Each month you wait after pension age adds 0.5% up to 65 and 0.75% from 65 to 70.
An example
Someone born on 15 March 1967 turns 60 in March 2027 and reaches pension age 62 in March 2029. Claiming at 60 cuts the pension by 12%.
