Early retirement

Early retirement in EU institutions refers to the option available to officials and other staff members to retire before reaching the standard retirement age, which is typically 66.

Early retirement can be taken under specific conditions and will result in a permanently reduced pension.

Early retirement can be taken from age 58.

Early retirement will result in a permanent pension reduction of 3.5% for every year before the mandatory pension age of 66. If one retires at 58, the permanent pension reduction will be 28% (8 x 3.5%).

This article provides more detail about pensions for EU institutions’ staff.
