The state pension age will increase by three months in 2022. This will bring the state pension age to 67 years and three months. The regulation applies to everyone born after 1954.

In 2012, it was agreed that the state pension age would automatically increase as life expectancy increases. So, the older we get, the higher the AOW age. The Statistics Centre of Netherlands (CBS) has calculated that life expectancy has increased.

An increase in the state pension age must be announced five years in advance. Therefore, the increase that will take effect from 2022 has now been announced.
