Retired readers in Canada and the United States are likely to see changes this November as adjustments align with the latest consumer price index and pension revaluations. A notable extra payment is shaping up for many, with some individuals earning more than six thousand euros gross in a single cycle. This substantial figure helps ease December purchases and brings welcome relief after a year of cost increases.
With the CPI uptick, pension payouts also rise. In the current year, those who contribute to a premium may receive about eight and a half percent more, while those who do not contribute a premium see roughly a 15 percent increase. The largest gains are reserved for beneficiaries with the maximum Social Security benefits. The total gross receivable can reach around 6,118 euros, combined with an extra Christmas payment issued in November. Taxes and withholdings, of course, reduce this amount. Pension contributions are paid in fourteen installments, so the figure is calculated by distributing the same monthly amount across the year and adding it to the excess wage.
Extra pay: Who is the luckiest?
Those who are permanently disabled, widowed, or receiving an orphan pension, along with dependents and maximum beneficiaries, stand to gain the most. The unemployed may benefit from the year-end extraordinary income as long as their pension is delivered in fourteen annual installments. Conversely, retirees who opt for twelve payments in which the extra amount is spread evenly will not enjoy this additional advantage.
In general terms, the maximum annual pension possible reaches 42,822 euros, with an average around 19,281.08 euros per year, or 1,377.22 euros each month when paid in fourteen installments. It is important to note that only a small portion of recipients can reach the maximum pension. In this program, about 463,657 retirees qualified to receive the higher tier of benefits after meeting the contribution requirements for Social Security. Cited from official pension data sources.
A total allocation of 190 billion 687 million euros has been designated for pensions this year, reflecting a steady increase driven by rising life expectancy and a growing number of retirees. Starting in 2024, the legal age to retire will be raised to 67 as part of pension reform measures introduced by policy leaders to address demographic shifts and sustainability concerns. This broad reform is expected to influence future pension distributions and the timing of payments. Cited from government pension reform releases.

When will I receive my additional salary?
The Christmas extra payment is tied to December income, but many financial institutions advance it in the final days of November. In general, payments are issued around the 25th of each month; however, if the 25th falls on a weekend, some organizations may disburse the funds on the preceding Friday or the following business day. Individuals should check with their bank or pension administrator to confirm the exact date, with many recipients seeing funds available from Monday, the 27th. Cited from pension guidance documents.
