Occupational pension

When employed by the government, you have the right to an occupational pension, sickness pension at long-term illness and allowance to your family in the event of death.

Your occupational pension varies depending on when you were born

Your birth year is affecting your occupational pension. In general, you belong to Part II in the occupational pension agreement PA 16 if you are born before 1988. If you are born 1988 or later, you belong to Part I.

More income gives higher occupational pension

Your occupational pension is depending on how much you earn. This is worth considering when you take out overtime in pay or in vacation. When you start working also matters for how much you earn during your whole working life.

Your occupational pension is affected also by different events in your life and from the choices you make. If you, for instance, choose to go down in working hours, it affects your pension.

Your pension comes from different parts

A pyramid, top Private pension savings, middle Occupational pension, Bottom
Translation of the text in the pyramid: Eget sparande: Private savings. Tjänstepension: Occupational pension Statlig anställning: Government employment. Allmän pension: National public pension

The pension pyramid shows the three parts of which your pension consists of.

  • The base is the national public pension paid from the Swedish Pensions Agency.
  • When you have been working for the government, you also get an occupational pension. Maybe you have also been working within the private or communal sector or within the county council. If so, you can get occupational pension for that time.
  • You may also have your private savings.

About the national public pension.

Your occupational pension is covered by a collective agreement

The occupational pension is an important supplement to the general pension. The agreement for you as a government employee, has been negotiated by the union organizations in the state branch (OFR/S, OFR/P, OFR/O, Saco-S, SEKO) together with Arbetsgivarverket (the Swedish Agency for Government Employers).
