Calculation of the retirement pension for a salary of 2,000 euros net

To estimate the amount of the basic pension and the supplementary pension for a salary of 2,000 euros net, it is important to take into account several factors such as the number of quarters contributed, the average gross salary and the retirement age.

Basic pension for a net salary of 2,000 euros

If an employee has contributed 167 quarters, he will be able to benefit from a full pension. For an average gross salary of 2597 euros over these 167 quarters, the calculation is (2597 euros x 50%), or 1298.50 euros per month for the basic pension.

Supplementary pension for a net salary of 2,000 euros

On average, an employee earns 3411 points if he has worked in the private sector with a gross salary of 2597 euros. In 2023, the value of the Agirc-Arrco point is 1.3498. The calculation is therefore 3411 x 1.3498, i.e. 4609.61 euros per year and therefore 384.13 euros per month for supplementary retirement.

Thus, for a salary of 2,000 euros net per month, we can expect a pension of 1298.50 euros + 384.13 euros, or 1682.63 euros per month.

Factors affecting the pension amount

Retirement is calculated based on several factors, including the duration of contribution, average salary and professional career. Here is an overview of these factors:

Duration of contribution

The duration of contribution is an important factor in calculating retirement. In France, to benefit from a full pension, you must have contributed a certain number of quarters. This number of quarters depends on the year in which the insured person was born. For people born in 1960 or after, 172 quarters must be contributed to receive a full pension. For people born before 1960, the number of quarters required is less.

Average salary

The average wage is another important factor in calculating retirement. Indeed, the higher the average salary, the higher the pension amount will be. The average salary is calculated based on the insured person's best 25 years of salary. The years taken into account are those in which the insured person contributed at least 1,500 times the hourly SMIC.

Professional career

Professional career is also an important factor in calculating retirement. The years in which the insured person contributed are taken into account when calculating the pension. Years in which the insured person did not contribute are not taken into account. Periods of unemployment, sickness, maternity or paternity leave are taken into account under certain conditions.

In summary, to benefit from a full pension, you must have contributed a certain number of quarters, have a high average salary and have worked long enough. It is therefore important to take these factors into account in order to be able to plan your retirement and anticipate the amount of your pension.

Pension plans in France

General regime

The General Retirement Scheme is the basic Social Security regime. It covers the majority of employees in the private sector. The pension amount is calculated based on the duration of contribution, the average annual salary and the retirement age.

The number of quarters required to receive a full pension depends on the year of birth. For people born before 1955, it is 160 quarters. For those born in 1960 or after, it is 172 quarters. For the others, it is between 160 and 172 quarters.

The pension amount is calculated by multiplying the average annual salary for the best 25 years of earnings by the liquidation rate. The liquidation rate is 50% for people who have contributed the number of quarters required to benefit from a full pension. It is reduced for people who have contributed fewer quarters.

Special diets

Special Retirement Plans are pension plans that are different from the General Pension Scheme. They are intended for employees in certain professions, such as railway workers, RATP agents, seafarers, soldiers, state officials, etc.

The pension amount is calculated based on the duration of contributions and the average annual salary. The calculation rules are different from those of the General Pension Scheme. The contributions are also different.

Special Retirement Schemes were created to meet the specific needs of certain professions. They were put in place at a time when working conditions were very different from those of today. They are the subject of numerous debates and reforms.

Retirement simulator

To estimate the pension amount for a net salary of 2,000 euros, it is possible to use online simulators. These tools make it possible to obtain an estimate of the pension amount based on the data known from your basic and complementary pension funds.

The L'Assurance Retraite pension simulator is a free tool that allows you to obtain a personalized estimate of the amount of your pension. To do this, simply fill in information about your professional career such as salaries, periods worked, validated quarters, etc. The simulator takes into account all the pension plans to which the individual has contributed.

The Marel retirement simulator is also a free tool that allows you to obtain a retirement estimate. It displays the rights that the individual has already obtained from all pension funds during his career. It is possible to simulate several retirement scenarios to find out at what age it is best to leave to benefit from the maximum amount.

On average, a full pension for private sector employees is at most 50% of the average of your top 25 annual incomes. It is 75% for civil servants and around 40% for self-employed workers. The results of the pension estimate indicate, for several possible starting ages, the number of quarters recorded and the estimated pension amount (in euros, gross, etc.).

To conclude, using an online retirement simulator is a simple and effective way to estimate the amount of your retirement. This makes it possible to better prepare for retirement and to make the decisions necessary to obtain the desired amount.

Savings and other solutions to complete your retirement

To complete your retirement, it is possible to save throughout your career. Retirement savings products allow you to benefit from attractive tax advantages. Contributions made are deductible from taxable income, which reduces the amount of income tax.

There are two types of retirement savings products: the PER (Retirement Savings Plan) and the PERP (Popular Retirement Savings Plan). The PER is a contract taken out by the employer, while the PERP is an individual contract. The PER allows you to benefit from the employer's contribution, which is a significant advantage.

It is also possible to take out life insurance to supplement your retirement. Life insurance offers great flexibility in terms of managing savings and allows you to benefit from attractive tax advantages. The gains made are subject to advantageous taxation, especially in the event of a purchase after 8 years.

Finally, it is important not to overlook the impact of wealth transfer on retirement. It is possible to pass on part of your assets to your children or grandchildren, which can be an additional source of income for retirement. Donations are subject to specific tax rules and it is recommended to seek professional advice before making a decision.

In short, there are several solutions to supplement your retirement, such as retirement savings, life insurance and wealth transfer. It is recommended to seek advice from a professional to choose the most appropriate solution for your situation.

Retirement by age and gender

The pension amount depends on several factors, including age and gender. Women tend to receive a lower pension than men, largely due to precarious employment and career interruptions related to motherhood.

In France, the legal retirement age is 62 for people born before 1960. For those born after this date, the starting age gradually increases to 67. It is important to note that the pension amount may vary depending on the age of departure. Indeed, the later you retire, the higher the pension amount will be.

Workers with a net salary of 2,000 euros can expect to receive a basic pension of around 1,000 euros per month, according to the Retirement Insurance website. However, this amount may vary depending on the number of quarters contributed, the age of departure and the supplementary pension plans.

To get a more accurate idea of the amount of their pension, workers can use the Info Retraite simulator provided by the French government. This simulator takes into account contributions paid, retirement age and supplementary pension plans to estimate the amount of the pension.

In summary, the amount of retirement depends on many factors, including age and gender. Workers with a net salary of 2,000 euros can expect to receive a basic pension of around 1,000 euros per month, but this amount can vary depending on several factors. Workers can use the Retirement Info Simulator to get a more accurate idea of the amount of their pension.

What is the amount of a comfortable retirement in 2023? There is no single answer to this question, as the amount of a comfortable retirement depends on many factors, such as the desired standard of living, monthly expenses, debts, and accumulated savings. In general, experts recommend aiming for a retirement that represents around 70% of your last net salary.

What is the average net amount of retirees in France? According to pension insurance statistics, the average net pension amount in France is around 1,400 euros per month. However, it is important to note that this figure varies considerably depending on the duration of contribution, previous income level, pension plans, survivor's pensions, and other factors.
