Share of your take-home pay your pension replaces

71.3%

A solid floor, with a gap you will feel.

Your pension covers most of what you take home today; the OECD average at your pay level is 63.2%. What goes missing is usually the extras: travel, help for family, the next car.

After a full career, the pension system in Slovenia would replace 71.3% of your take-home pay from age 62. Before tax, that is about €1,062 a month, against €2,313 today.

The gap in money

From payslip to pension.

Before tax, the pension replaces 45.9% of your pay. After tax it replaces 71.3%, because pensioners in Slovenia pay less tax and fewer social contributions than workers. Both figures are in today's money.

What your own savings would have to pay to keep your full income.

The rest is a savings job you can do comfortably if you start early. Covering €1,251 a month yourself takes about €375,400 of savings by age 62, at a 4% withdrawal rate. Most people need less than their full salary once work costs and pension contributions stop, but this is the size of the job.

In today's money: the OECD models pensions relative to earnings at retirement, which rise with average wages. A 4% withdrawal rate means saving 25 times the yearly gap.

What your pay changes

Earn more, get back a much smaller share.

The OECD models three pay levels in Slovenia. At 0.55× the average wage the pension replaces 100.5% of take-home pay; at the average, 71.3%; at twice the average, 73.4%. A gap of 27.1 points: the system protects low earners far more than it rewards high ones.

Frequently asked questions

For an average earner who starts work at 22 and works a full career, the mandatory pension system in Slovenia replaces 71.3% of take-home pay and 45.9% of gross pay, according to OECD Pensions at a Glance 2025. That ranks 14 of the 38 OECD countries; the OECD average is 63.2%.

The OECD puts the average wage in Slovenia at €27,756 a year (2024). A full career at that wage earns a pension of about €1,062 a month before tax in today's money, 45.9% of gross pay, paid from the normal pension age of 62.

At 0.55× the average wage the pension replaces 100.5% of take-home pay; at twice the average, 73.4%. That gap of 27.1 points means the system protects low earners far more than it rewards high ones.

For someone who starts work at 22 today, the OECD models the normal pension age in Slovenia as 62, against an OECD average of 66.4. The replacement rates on this page assume retiring at that age.

The OECD figure of 71.3% for Slovenia counts mandatory schemes only, including workplace schemes that cover nearly all employees. Anything you save yourself, in a personal pension or an ordinary investment account, comes on top of it, and it is the part you control.

It is your pension after tax and social contributions divided by your take-home pay before retirement. The OECD calculates it for a worker who starts at 22 and works a full career to the normal pension age. A rate of 71.3% means that for every 100 you take home while working, you keep about 71 as a pensioner.

OECD Pensions at a Glance 2025: net replacement rates from Table 4.4, gross from Table 4.1, voluntary schemes from Table 4.5, average wages from Table 7.5. The OECD models a worker who starts at 22 in 2024 and works a full career to the normal pension age under the rules legislated today, in mandatory schemes (including workplace schemes that cover nearly all employees). Between the three pay levels the OECD models, this page assumes the pension grows in a straight line with pay. Real careers with gaps, part-time years or time abroad produce lower pensions.
