Combining a job and a pension
A ceiling of 2 916,85 € gross a month that only applies without the full rate, a six-month wait with the former employer that costs both the pension and the new rights, a second pension capped at 2 403 € gross a year, and rules changing on 1 January 2027. Three modules to decide before going back to work. Explanations and sources are free to read.

Figures are tied to dated, sourced tax constants. A module whose rules have changed is flagged for review, and is unpublished automatically beyond 90 days.
