The Ministry of Social Affairs and Health has confirmed the earnings-related pension index rates for 2024. The earnings-related pension index will increase by approximately 5.7 per cent in comparison to 2023. The new pension index is 3037. All currently paid earnings-related pensions are adjusted according to this index.

The Finnish Centre for Pensions estimates that the 2024 earnings-related pension index will grow slightly more than the wage coefficient. As a result, a person who retires on an earnings-related pension before the end of 2023 may receive a slightly higher index increment than a person who retires after the turn of the year. A person who considers claiming a pension should also note the impact of continued work, taxation and Kela benefits on their pension amount.
