Retirement Simulator for Spain

See how much pension you will have left: your monthly income in retirement from the Seguridad Social pension, your planes de pensiones and your portfolio, in today's euros and after IRPF, and how far it is from the life you want.

1About you
Life expectancy at 65 is about 84 for men and 88 for women in Spain; planning to 90 or later keeps a margin.
EUR
Gross a year, extra payments included. The contribution base is this figure over twelve, up to the base máxima of 5,101.20 € a month: 2,666.67 € in your case.
Marital status
Marital status sets the minimum pension you are entitled to and opens the joint return. The comunidad sets the regional half of the IRPF; Navarra and the Basque Country have their own income tax and are not modelled, use the average.
2Seguridad Social pensionFine-tune
Estimate: 3,465 € a month on average (2,970 € in 14 payments) from 67, with 44 years contributed and 100 % of the base reguladora; ordinary age 65. Turn on to enter your years contributed, your base or the Seguridad Social simulator's figure.

Monthly income if you retire at
Every extra year of work is worth about 190 € a month for the rest of your life.
The ordinary age is 65 (65 with a long career). With 35 years contributed the pension can be claimed up to two years early, with a reduction; each full year of work past the ordinary age adds 4 % to the pension.
When to claim the pensionThe pension is paid for life, so the claiming age is a bet on how long you live.
Working to 67 pays 3,465 € a month on average, 8 % more than at your ordinary age of 65 (2 full years of deferral), for life.
You work past your ordinary age of 65, so the pension is claimed when you stop working: each full year of deferral adds 4 %, or a lump sum instead. Pick another retirement age above to see the effect. With your contribution record the ordinary age is 65.
Planes de pensiones: income or capital?
At 67 your plans are either withdrawn bit by bit as income (each withdrawal is taxed that year as work income, and the simulator keeps them inside the 24 % bracket, about 20,107 € a year) or taken at once as capital (everything is taxed in one year, on top of your pension, and the net joins your portfolio).

Capital pushes the whole balance into one year and into the upper brackets; income spreads it and uses the work reduction and the low brackets every year. Capital only wins when a large part of the plan comes from contributions before 2007 (40 % reduction) or when the balance is small.

How to

From your years contributed to one monthly number in five steps

1
Enter your age, salary and situation
The salary sets your contribution base and with it the base reguladora. Marital status decides the minimum pension and opens the joint return; the comunidad autónoma sets the regional half of the IRPF.
2
Copy your informe de vida laboral
Download the report from the Seguridad Social online office and enter the years contributed in the pension card. If you like, compare with the figure the Tu Seguridad Social simulator projects and calibrate the base.
3
Add your planes de pensiones
The balance of your individual plan or PPA and of your plan de empleo, with the yearly contributions, from the provider's statement. Then compare taking it as income with taking the capital on your own numbers.
4
Add your portfolio
Funds, shares and cash, with what you save each month. Only the gain share of each sale is taxed, in the savings scale, as you draw it down.
5
Set the life you want
Enter the monthly spending you want in today's money. The page shows your pension gap, what closes it, and how retiring earlier or later, saving more or claiming at a different age changes the result.
Concepts

How the Spanish system turns into retirement income

Base reguladora
The sum of your contribution bases of the last 25 years (300 months) divided by 350: with a constant base that is 85.7 % of it, because the pension is paid in 14 payments against 12 bases a year. Bases older than two years are revalued with the CPI, the last 24 are not. From 2026 the Seguridad Social also computes the new formula (by 2037, the best 324 bases of the last 348 months) and applies the higher one.
Percentage by years contributed
With 15 years contributed you get 50 % of the base reguladora. Each extra month adds 0.21 % for the first 49 months and 0.19 % after, up to 100 % with 36 years and 6 months in 2026; from 2027 it takes 37 years (0.19 % to month 248 and 0.18 % after).
Ordinary retirement age
66 years and 10 months in 2026 and 67 from 2027, or 65 with a long career (38 years and 3 months contributed in 2026, 38 years and 6 months from 2027). It is the reference for the reduction coefficients and the deferral bonus.
Reduction coefficients
With 35 years contributed you can retire up to 24 months before your ordinary age. The pension is cut for life by the months of anticipation and the years contributed: from 2.81 % for one month with more than 44 and a half years to 21 % for 24 months with fewer than 38 and a half. When the pension exceeds the maximum, the cut applies to the maximum.
Pension gap (brecha de pensión)
The difference between what you want to spend in retirement and what the Seguridad Social pension pays after IRPF. The average retirement pension replaces about three quarters of the last salary for middle incomes and much less for high ones, because of the maximum pension cap. Your plans and portfolio close the gap, or not.
IRPF on the pension
The pension is work income: 2,000 EUR of expenses and the work-income reduction (7,302 EUR up to 14,852 EUR net, tapering to 19,747.50 EUR) come off, and the state and regional scales apply to the base less the taxpayer minimum (5,550 EUR, plus 1,150 EUR from 65 and another 1,400 EUR from 75). Pensioners pay no social contributions.
Planes de pensiones: income or capital
Contributions reduced your IRPF, so everything you withdraw is taxed as work income. As income, each withdrawal adds to that year's pension; as capital, the whole balance is taxed in one year, except the 40 % reduction on contributions before 2007. Spreading the withdrawals almost always pays less tax.
Today's money
All figures are shown in today's purchasing power. Returns are reduced by the inflation you enter, and the state pension keeps its value because it is revalued every year with the CPI (Ley 21/2021).
Tips

Six levers that change the result most

Download your informe de vida laboral once a year
Your years contributed decide the percentage of the base reguladora and whether you can retire early. Enter the exact figure here and the estimate stops guessing; check the gaps too, because months without contributions inside the last 25 years are integrated at the minimum base only.
Cross-check with the Seguridad Social simulator
Tu Seguridad Social projects your pension from your real bases. Enter that figure in the pension card and press calibrate: the simulator adjusts your contribution base so both agree, and everything else (early claims, deferral, plans, IRPF) starts from the official figure.
Two years early costs up to 21 % for life
Financing those two years from the portfolio and claiming at the ordinary age keeps the full pension, and usually pays off from the early eighties. The claiming block shows your break-even age with your years contributed.
Take the plan as income, not as capital
The whole plan is taxed as work income. As capital, a 100,000 EUR balance lands in one year on top of the pension and reaches the 37 % brackets or higher; spread as income it can stay at 24 % or less. The income-or-capital block compares both routes on your numbers.
Use the portfolio for flexibility, the pension for longevity
A portfolio can be drawn faster in the early years and passed on; the state pension, revalued with the CPI, protects against living to 100. Most plans work best with both. The capital chart shows how each pot carries the years.
Each year of work counts twice
Retiring one year later adds a year of contributions and returns, removes a year of withdrawals and, past the ordinary age, adds 4 % to the pension. The sensitivity row shows how strongly the monthly income reacts.
FAQ
How much retirement pension will I get?+
Your base reguladora times the percentage for your years contributed, with the early or deferral coefficients, between the minimum and the maximum pension (3,359.60 EUR a month in 14 payments in 2026). With a full career and a constant salary, the gross pension is about 85.7 % of your monthly contribution base (14 payments), a little less than the salary for middle incomes and much less for salaries above the maximum base of 5,101.20 EUR a month. The simulator computes it from your years, your base and your claiming age, and compares with the Tu Seguridad Social figure if you enter it.
What is the pension gap and how do I calculate it?+
The difference between the monthly income you want in retirement and what the Seguridad Social pension pays after IRPF. Take your spending target in today's money, subtract the net pension the simulator shows, and the rest has to come from a plan de pensiones, a plan de empleo or your own portfolio. The block under the verdict shows the gap and how much of it your other savings close.
How much is deducted from the gross pension?+
Only IRPF. Pensioners pay no social contributions and public healthcare is free. The pension is taxed as work income with 2,000 EUR of deductible expenses, the work-income reduction for low pensions and the taxpayer minimum raised from 65 and from 75; a pension of 15,000 EUR a year pays nothing, one of 30,000 EUR pays around 18 % depending on the comunidad. The payroll withholding is an advance, the simulator applies the full scale.
Can I retire at 63 or at 65?+
At 65 without a cut if you have 38 years and 3 months contributed in 2026 (38 years and 6 months from 2027). With 35 years contributed, at least two of them in the last fifteen, you can claim voluntary early retirement up to two years before your ordinary age, with a lifelong reduction coefficient of 2.81 % to 21 % depending on the months and the years contributed; 63 only if your ordinary age is 65. Before that there is no pension except involuntary early retirement, and the years in between are financed from your savings, which the simulator shows as waiting years. A convenio especial lets you keep contributing in those years; the simulator does not model it.
Is the state pension safe until I retire?+
Ley 21/2021 guarantees revaluation with the CPI and the 2023 reform funds it with the Mecanismo de Equidad Intergeneracional, rising to 1.2 % by 2029, and the solidarity contribution on high salaries. The system is reviewed every three years from 2025 and the parameters can change. The confidence field lets you plan with only part of the pension if you want a margin.
Is a plan de pensiones worth it, and do I take it as income or as capital?+
The deduction of up to 1,500 EUR a year (plus up to 8,500 EUR from the employer in a plan de empleo) is a deferral: everything you withdraw is taxed as work income. It pays when your marginal rate today is higher than the one you will have in retirement, which is the usual case. Taking it as income spreads the tax over the low brackets of each year; as capital, the whole balance lands in one year on top of the pension, except the 40 % reduction on contributions before 2007, which only helps with small or mostly old balances. From 2025 you can withdraw contributions more than ten years old without giving a reason.
How is my portfolio of funds and shares taxed in retirement?+
Gains are taxed in the savings base when you sell: 19 % up to 6,000 EUR of gains a year, 21 % to 50,000, 23 % to 200,000, 27 % to 300,000 and 30 % beyond, with no allowance. The simulator tracks your cost basis (today's portfolio less the unrealised gain you enter, plus what you save from now on) and taxes only the gain share of each withdrawal. Switching between funds is not taxed, sales are matched FIFO and a repurchase within two months blocks a loss offset; over 65s who reinvest in an insured life annuity can exempt the gain up to 240,000 EUR.
What if I am self-employed (autónomo)?+
The formula is the same: base reguladora times the percentage for years contributed. The difference is the base: since 2023 you contribute by the bracket of your net income, and the base you chose decides the pension. Enter your monthly contribution base in the pension card instead of the salary; the rest (ordinary age, coefficients, minimum, maximum, IRPF) applies the same way. The self-employed can also retire early with 35 years contributed.
How much money do I need to retire in Spain?+
Less than 25 times your spending, because the state pension covers part of it for life and is revalued with the CPI. Take your monthly target, subtract the net pension and the income from your plans, and the remaining gap times 12 times about 25 to 30 years of retirement is the capital you need. For a single person wanting 1,800 EUR a month with an average pension, that is typically a few tens of thousands to a few hundred thousand euros in a portfolio, not millions.
Does it work for couples, for jubilación activa or for civil servants?+
Married couples add their partner under the marital status: their pension and plan join the calculation, each of you is taxed on your own return or jointly if you switch it on, and their salary counts while they still work, less their contributions. Jubilación activa (drawing part of the pension while working past the ordinary age) and partial retirement are not modelled. Civil servants under Clases Pasivas have another system; those under the Régimen General (joined from 2011) can use the simulator with their years contributed.

We've used this for years
All amounts are in today's purchasing power: nominal returns are deflated by the inflation assumption and contributions are held constant in real terms. Seguridad Social pension (Régimen General): contribution base = gross annual salary over twelve, between the base mínima (1,989.30 EUR) and the base máxima (5,101.20 EUR a month in 2026), or the base entered, rising by the entered real growth a year until work stops (the same growth backwards for past years), never above the base máxima of its year, which rises by 1.2 real points a year from 2024 to 2050 (DT 38ª), nor below the base mínima. Base reguladora = the sum of the 300 bases before the claim divided by 350 (the months between the end of work and the claim are gaps, integrated like the ones below), the last 24 at nominal value and the older ones revalued with the CPI; from 2026 the new formula is computed too (2026: the 302 highest bases of the last 304 months over 352.33; two bases, four months and 2.33 more each year to the best 324 of 348 months over 378 in 2037) and the higher applies through 2040, the new one after; months without contributions inside the period are integrated at the base mínima for 48 months and half of it beyond. Percentage: 50 % with 15 years contributed, plus 0.21 % per month for 49 months and 0.19 % after until 2026 (100 % with 36 years and 6 months), and from 2027 0.19 % to month 248 and 0.18 % after (37 years). Ordinary age: 66 years and 10 months in 2026 and 67 from 2027, or 65 with 38 years and 3 months (2026) or 38 years and 6 months (from 2027) contributed, by the rule in force in the year it is reached. Voluntary early retirement: up to 24 months early with 35 years contributed, with the monthly coefficients of article 208 LGSS by months of anticipation and contribution band (38 and a half, 41 and a half, 44 and a half years); when the pension exceeds the maximum the coefficient applies to the maximum, in transition from 0.5 % per quarter between 2024 and 2033. Deferral: 4 % per full year worked past the ordinary age and 2 % for more than six months from the second year; the pension is claimed when work stops. Cap at the maximum pension (3,359.60 EUR per payment) and floor at the minimum for the family situation (13,106.80 EUR a year without a spouse, 12,441.80 EUR with a non-dependent spouse, 17,592.40 EUR with a dependent spouse from 65; a little less before), without checking the income limit of the complemento a mínimos. 14 payments a year; the page shows the twelve-month average. Revalued with the CPI, so it keeps its purchasing power. Contributions stop when work stops. IRPF: the pension, the plan withdrawals and the partner's salary are work income; the yearly total of each return is reduced by 2,000 EUR of expenses per earner and the work-income reduction (7,302 EUR up to 14,852 EUR net, less 1.75 per euro to 17,673.52 EUR and 1.14 per euro to 19,747.50 EUR), and the state scale (9.5 / 12 / 15 / 18.5 / 22.5 / 24.5 %) and the regional scale of the chosen comunidad for Renta 2025 apply to the base liquidable, less the same scales on the taxpayer minimum (5,550 EUR, plus 1,150 EUR from 65 and 1,400 EUR more from 75). With a partner, each is taxed on their own return at their own age, or jointly (one return, 3,400 EUR reduction, both age minimums) when switched on. Thresholds stay in nominal euros for the first five years of the plan and keep their real value after. Pensioners pay no contributions and healthcare is free; the partner's salary carries the employee contributions (4.70 + 1.55 + 0.10 % plus 0.15 % MEI, up to the base máxima). Planes de pensiones and plan de empleo: each balance grows at its return with its contributions until work stops; as income, the plan pot is drawn by each year's need, first up to the top of the 24 % bracket of the base (about 22,200 EUR of work income), then the portfolio, then the plans again, with the IRPF of each withdrawal solved so the target is met net; as capital, the whole balance is taxed in the retirement year on top of the pension, with a 40 % reduction on the share entered as pre-2007, and the net joins the portfolio. The plans open when work stops. Portfolio: the gain share of each year's withdrawals is taxed at the escala del ahorro (19 % to 30 % by the year's realised gain, thresholds frozen like the IRPF ones) or at the effective rate entered, with no allowance; the cost basis is today's portfolio less the unrealised gain entered, plus every contribution and every net plan capital, and since the basis is nominal, inflation gains are taxed as in law. The headline income is the highest level monthly spending, in today's money, that the year-by-year run can finance to the plan age without a shortfall in any year; the run at your actual target reports the age at which the capital runs out. A partner is simulated on the first person's age scale with their own years, base, claiming age and plan; their gross salary counts while they still work. The pensión máxima of the claim year rises by 0.115 real points a year from 2025 to 2050 (DT 39ª). The complemento a mínimos is withdrawn, by the excess, in any year whose previous year's plan withdrawals and realised gains (household total) exceeded the income limit (9,442 EUR, 11,013 with a dependent spouse). Survivor scenario (partner block): from the partner's plan end their pension and salary stop, their plan passes to the survivor, the survivor receives the pensión de viudedad (52 % of the partner's base reguladora, 60 % from 65 without a pension of their own, the sum of both pensions capped at the máxima of the year), files alone and spends the entered share. Not modelled: jubilación activa, partial and flexible retirement, convenio especial, the gender gap supplement, gaps inside a continuous career beyond the integration, the deferral lump sum, the solidarity contribution, Navarra and the Basque Country, insured life annuities, the mínimas de viudedad; gaps are integrated only for a base at or above the general mínima (a lower base is read as an autónomo's, and RETA integrates no gaps). Estimates only, not financial or tax advice. Signed-in users are prefilled from their profile and pension accounts; until confirmed on the profile, the gross salary is estimated as the monthly net income times 12 divided by 0.78.
