Frequently Asked Questions

The Pillar 2 pension is an important part of the Lithuanian pension system. Every month, the contribution to your chosen Pillar 2 pension fund consists of two parts: 3% of your gross salary and a 1.5% incentive contribution from the state budget, based on the country's average wage. These contributions are invested in financial markets through your pension fund manager, with the aim of growing them over the long term. The purpose of saving is to provide additional retirement income and help individuals secure their financial well-being in the future.

Pillar 2 pension payouts

When you reach retirement age (or are awarded an early old-age pension), you are entitled to use the funds accumulated in the pension funds. The method of payment will depend on the accumulated amount.

When you reach retirement age, you can choose not to take any action and continue to accumulate in the funds if you are still receiving taxable income or want to leave the funds as an inheritance, or you can apply to the pension company and conclude a pension benefit agreement.

Within the pension annuity limit, you can voluntarily choose a periodic payment or an annuity.

Lump-sum payments are made for accumulations of EUR 16,785 or less (or for accumulations above EUR 83,926).
For accumulations of EUR 16,785 or more, you will acquire a Sodra pension annuity that will provide periodic guaranteed payments for the rest of your life.
