ATP Livslang Pension is payable when you have reached the Danish retirement age even though you are leaving Denmark. You cannot have your ATP Livslang Pension paid out earlier because of for instance: living abroad, disablement, earlier retirement age in another country or transferred to another pension scheme ect.

If you are staying outside of Denmark, we do not automatically receive changes of addresses abroad. Remember to inform ATP Livslang Pension of any new addresses abroad. It is important you contact ATP before you reach the Danish retirement age in order for you to benefit from the rights and savings you have accrued.

Your ATP Livslang Pension will automatically be paid out to your NemKonto when you reach the Danish retirement age. Your retirement age depends on the date you were born.

If you live outside of Denmark, you have to make sure that your address and bank account number are updated. If you have MitID or eID you can update your information in our self service or by contacting ATP Livslang Pension. 

It is not possible to have the ATP Livslang Pension paid out before reaching the Danish retirement age. This also applies if, for example, you awarded a disability pension, have a life-threatening illness or move to a another country than Denmark.

Below, you can see the Danish retirement age:

Date of birth Danish retirement age
31 December 1953 or before 65 years
1 January 1954 - 30 June 1954 65½ years
1 July 1954 - 31 December 1954 66 years
1 January 1955 - 30 June 1955 66½ years
1 July 1955 - 31 December 1962 67 years
1 January 1963 - 31 December 1966 68 years
 1 January 1967 or later  69 years 

The Danish retirement age may be changed by the Danish Parliament with a 15 years notice prior to the present retirement age. 

The amount of ATP Livslang Pension (Lifelong Pension) you can expect to receive depends on how much you have contributed over the years. When your contributions were made has a major impact on the size of the pension. Generally speaking the earlier a contribution has been made the more pension you will get from it. In other words, the size of the pension does not only depend on how much has been contributed, but also when.

Your pension overview shows how much you have contributed and how much you can expect to receive in pension from ATP.  Regardless of when you check your pension overview, it will always provide the most accurate picture of what you can expect to receive.

If you are receiving ATP Livslang Pension you can see the payments here. See payments from ATP Livslang Pension.

Differences in the size of pensions

In order to get the highest pension (DKK 27,300 (2023) for people who reach the state retirement age as a 67-year old) you must have paid a full contribution from the age of 18 up to and including when you reach the state retirement age.

There may be various reasons for why your pension is smaller than the highest pension. For example, if you were:

  • an apprentice/trainee before September 1977 when ATP contributions were not paid
  • a public sector employee in periods since 1987, as some collective agreements specified that the highest ATP contribution was not to be paid
  • self-employed, as it is voluntary for self-employed people to pay ATP contributions
  • employed abroad, where as a general rule one does not pay ATP contributions

Check your contributions

It is possible to correct any potential errors within a subsequent 3-year period. It is therefor a good idea to check your personal information at least once per year. If you believe there are errors in your registered contributions, you must contact ATP. After 3 years, ATP  no longer has the opportunity to correct potential errors in the registered contributions.

If you live in Denmark, your ATP Livslang Pension will automatically be paid to your NemKonto when you reach the Danish retirement age.

If you live outside of Denmark, you must request to have your ATP Livslang Pension paid to you and specify to which account you want it transferred.

ATP Livslang Pension is paid in advance and is paid on the last bank day of a month.

Shortly before you reach the Danish retirement age, you will receive a letter from ATP Livslang Pension.

Therefore, make sure that ATP has your address.

Our letter contains a form which you have to fill out with your bank information and return it to ATP.

Digital Post

If you are signed up for Digital Post you will receive your letter(s) in your digital mailbox.

See an English translation of the letter:

If you are disabled, you may have difficulties reading and/or filling in the forms. We are working on making the forms accessible. Please contact ATP Livslang Pension for more information.

If you do not have an address in Denmark, please remember that ATP must have your address abroad in order to pay out your pension.

Choose a Danish or a foreign account

You decide whether you want your ATP Livslang Pension paid out to a Danish or a foreign bank.

If you have a Danish bank account the transfer will have no cost to you.

If you have a foreign account you must pay a fee.

The bank deducts a handling fee

Our banking agreement will charge up to 4,95 DKK per transfer, no matter which foreign country the money is transferred to. Your bank abroad may also charge a fee for receiving the money. Please contact your bank abroad regarding their fee.

You can choose to defer payment of your ATP Livslang Pension for a maximum of 10 years after your Danish retirement age. Your pension may be increased if you defer payment. If you wish to defer your payment, you must notify ATP before the 5th of the month in which you reach your Danish retirement age.

If you were born in 1956 or later, and have not yet reached your Danish state pension age, please be aware that it is not possible to defer payment of your pension if you are to receive it as a lump sum.

Deferring your pension

You can choose to defer your pension. If you wish to do so, please tick the box "I wish to defer my ATP Livslang Pension to" on the form that you have received. Or by using our self-service.

If you defer payment of your monthly pension, it will be increased according to a specific pension rate. The rate is updated every year based on the expected average life expectancy and market interest rate.

The table below shows how much we expect your pension will be increased if you defer your payment. The forecast is not a guarantee of the size of your pension when it is paid out.

Year   1   2   3   4    5    6    7    8    9    10 
Increase  4%     9%     14%   22%  31%   42%  54%  68%   83%  102% 

Example

For example, if you are 67 years old and entitled to a pension of DKK 18,000 per year, you will receive DKK 1,500 per month. If you defer your payments until you turn 72, you can expect to receive approx. DKK 2,000 per month.

If you defer your payments until you turn 77 years old, you can expect to receive approx. DKK 3,000 per month.  All quoted amounts are present value, meaning what the pension is worth today.

If your pension is to paid as a lump sum

If your pension is to be paid as a lump sum and you defer your payment, ATP cannot predict whether the lump sum will increase or decrease. This is because the calculation of the lump sum depends on market interest rates, i.a.

If you were born in 1956 or later, and have not yet reached your Danish retirement age, please be aware that it is not possible to defer your payment if you are to receive it as a lump sum.

The size of your pension determines how your pension is paid out: 

  • If your ATP Livslang Pension is more than DKK 3,200 (2023) per year before tax, your pension will be paid out monthly for as long as you live.
  • If your ATP Livslang Pension is up to DKK 3,200 (2023) per year before tax, it will be paid out as a lump sum.

ATP's board may change the yearly limit in the future.

Before your pension is paid out, you will be notified whether your pension will be paid out as a monthly payment or as a lump sum.

If you have already started receiving payment of your pension, you can still defer your payments if:

  • your pension has not been paid out as a lump sum
  • you have received a maximum of 5 monthly pension payments
  • ATP has been notified by the end of the month in which the 5th month's payment is made
  • you return all of the previous payments to ATP.

You are no longer able to defer your pension payments when you reach the 1st of the month after you have received 5 months of pension.

You can defer the payment of your ATP Livslang Pension until 10 years after your Danish retirement age. You can defer your payments here: 

The size of the contribution depends on various rates.

Private-sector employers always pay A-contributions, which is the highest rate.

Public-sector employers pay A, B, C, D, E or F-contributions, depending on the collective agreement the employee are covered by.

Public-sector employers have paid B, C, D, E and F-contributions for most employees since 1 January 1988. A-contributions may be optional or mandatory (from either transfer income or full-time employment), while contributions based on the other rates always stem from full-time employment.

Since 1993, ATP contributions have been paid on various types of transfer income such as unemployment benefits, sick pay, welfare benefits etc. Certain groups such as early retirement pensioners and recipients of partial pension may choose to pay ATP contributions themselves. These contributions are also shown in the overview.

The contributions shown include the contributions made by the member as well as his/her employer, municipality, Udbetaling Danmark the Public Benefits Administration or unemployment insurance fund. However, self-employed people and recipients of early retirement benefits or benefits under the Danish flexi job scheme pay the full contribution themselves.

Contributions made prior to 1 January 2008 are reported on an annual basis only. See also rates from prior years:

You will be paid an ATP Livslang pension when you reach the retirement age and for as long as you live thereafter. You pay 1/3 of the contributions to ATP while your employer pays 2/3. You accrue a pension for the contributions that you make to ATP Livslang Pension. This pension can be increased if the ATP issues bonuses.

What does the ATP contribution go towards

There will be deducted social security contributions, risk contributions and bonus contributions from your contributions to ATP Livslang Pension(Lifelong Pension). The remaining part of the contribution will be used to purchase a pension at the applicable rate. The rate specifies how much of a guaranteed annual pension you can get for DKK 100.

Risk contribution

The risk contribution goes to your risk covers ensures that your spouse or common-law partner and your children will receive a lump sum from ATP if you die.

Bonus contributions

The bonus contribution amounts to 20 per cent of the paid contributions and the bonus contribution goes to ATP bonus potential. The bonus potential is used to increase the guaranteed lifelong pensions via bonuses and to cover longer than projected life expectancies so that ATP can guarantee lifelong pensions.

Almost everyone makes contributions to ATP Livslang Pension, and it is your employer or the state that makes them for you. You also pay even if you are not working. You will pay contributions to ATP if you:

  • are a wage earner
  • are aged 16 or more
  • work in Denmark are posted by a Danish employer to work in another country on a short-term basis
  • work at least nine hours per week
  • receive a number of social benefits (transfer income)

Pensioners who work

You must pay ATP contributions as long as you are working, no matter how old you are. This means that you and your employer must pay ATP  contributions for you - even if you have also begun receiving your ATP Livslang pension. Your ATP Livslang Pension is adjusted on an ongoing basis as you and your employer make contributions. In other words, the pension that you will receive will be larger if you work after you reach the retirement age.

Voluntary contributions to ATP Livslang Pension
You can choose to make voluntary contributions to ATP Livslang Pension if you:

  • are a self-employed person
  • receive early retirement pension
  • receive transitional benefit
  • receive early retirement allowance under the flexible employment scheme

You can expect to receive a new life certificate at the end of May 2024.

You will receive the pension amount either as a lump sum or a monthly payment.

The size of your ATP Livslang Pension (Lifelong Pension) determines how you receive ATP Livslang Pension (Lifelong Pension):

  • If your ATP Livslang Pension amounts to DKK 3.200 (2023) or less per year before tax, you will receive your pension as a lump sum.

It is important that ATP receives the correct documentation for deaths that have occured outside of Denmark. The documentation is decisive for whether ATP can pay out a possible lump sum.

You must send a copy of the death certificate. There are different requirements for the documentation depending on which country the event of the death occured:

  • If the death occurred in Europe, United States of America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand or Turkey please submit a copy of the death certificate. The authority that issued the death certificate must certify that the document is a true copy with a stamp and a signature.
  • If the death occurred in a country that is party of the Apostille Convention, for example the Philippines, please note that the authority that issued the death certificate must certify that the document is a true copy with a stamp and a signature and the document must be legalised by an apostille.
    • You can see which authority in your country issues the apostille at www.hcch.net
  • If the death occurred in any other country, for example Thailand, please note that a number of authorities must confirm that the death certificate is a true copy. To do so, follow these steps:
    • The authority that issued the death certificate must confirm that the document is a true copy.
    • The superior authority of the issuing authority must confirm the signature on the document. That will usually be the ministry to which the issuing authority belongs.
    • The country's ministry of foreign affairs must confirm the signature of the superior authority.
    • The Danish representation in the country must confirm the signature of the country's ministry of foreign affairs. You can find information about Danish representations at www.um.dk

All confirmations must consist of a stamp and signature by the official authority directly on the document.

Paying social security contributions

The social security contribution is a public tax of 8 per cent that wage earners or self-employed people must pay.

If you are liable for taxes in Denmark, then ATP is obliged to withhold the social security contribution part of the paid ATP contribution, cf. The Danish Withholding of Tax Act's Section 49 (D)(1).

If you are in doubt about whether you are tax liable in Denmark and must therefor pay social security contributions, you can contact the Danish Tax Agency via www.skat.dk and get specific advice.

You will be paid the pension when you reach the state retirement age. You cannot receive the pension before, even if you are, for example, on a disability pension, suffering from a life-threatening illness or move to another country.

How much is contributed? 

The contribution to Obligatorisk Pensionsordning depends on the type of benefit that you are receiving. In 2023, there will be contributed an amount equivalent to 1.2 per cent of your benefit. The contribution will increase each year up to 2030, where the state will be contributing 3.3 per cent.

Provide a power of attorney digitally - using MitID

When you give the power of attorney to another, this person can act on your behalf in relation to ATP Livslang Pension, including the Mandatory Pension Scheme and the Supplemental Labour Market Pension.

The person who is given the power of attorney can, among other things:

  • View your expected pension from ATP Livslang Pension
  • Defer your ATP Livslang Pension
  • Register your common-law partner
  • View the payments in the event of death for, if relevant, spouses/common-law partner and for children under the age of 18/21
  • See your contributions and received payments
  • Start your pension, change your address and register your account number if you live abroad.

The power of attorney only applies to self-service solutions that are available at www.borger.dk/atp. The power of attorney provides access to advice and offers the opportunity to act on your behalf over the phone, using Digital Post and by email and regular post when contacting ATP Livslang Pension.

Please note that the power of attorney is for a limited amount of time.

If you do not give a power of attorney digitally

If you do not have the opportunity to give a power of attorney digitally, you can send a written letter of attorney to ATP Livslang Pension. The person who gets the power of attorney will generally speaking be able to perform the same actions as with a digital power of attorney. If there are things that you do not want the power of attorney to apply for, you must specify this in the letter of attorney.

You must state the following in  the letter of attorney:

  • Your name and civil registration number
  • Name and address of the person that you wish to provide with the power of attorney
  • That the person in question is to given power of attorney to receive information about you and to act on your behalf in relation to ATP Livslang Pension
  • Specify if the power of attorney is to expire on a certain date or if there are areas/functions that you do not wish to give the power of attorney for.
    (If the power of attorney is only for one specific issue, for example, a payment to you in the event of a death, it is enough to specify this)
  • The letter of attorney must be signed and dated by you.

In 2022, ATP's costs averaged DKK 438 per member. This corresponds to 0.35 per cent of ATP's assets. ATP's joint reserves cover all costs and the amount is therefore not deducted directly from your payments. The DKK 438 can be divided into costs for administration and investment:

  • Administration: DKK 39
  • Investment: DKK 398

If you pay into ATP Livslang Pension, you also pay for insurance in the event of death. Every year, an amount is deducted from the contributions to cover lump sum payments to dependants. In 2022, the cost per paying member for this insurance is DKK 76.
