Ce pensie are un român cu 35-40 de ani vechime și salariul minim

Many Romanians nearing retirement question their pension after working for 40 years at minimum wage. Pension value depends on both work duration and income contributions. The public pension system calculates pensions based on accumulated points rather than the last salary. Starting in 2026, pensions will be calculated according to Law no. 360/2023, which involves multiplying total points by a reference point value. Stability points are awarded for contributions exceeding 25 years, significantly impacting pension amounts. Simulations suggest that a worker earning minimum wage for 35 or 40 years will have varying pensions based on historical income and stability points.
