Pension plus from July: This is how millions of Germans will receive more money!
From July 2025, many pensioners in Germany will have an increased “standard pension”. Loud chip the standard pension will be increased by 66.15 euros per month. This adjustment relates to a pension calculated based on average earnings and a contribution period of 45 years. However, the actual pension amount depends on the individual pensioner's individual earnings and employment conditions.
The pension adjustment notices informing about these changes are scheduled to be sent between June 14 and July 23, 2025. Deutsche Post AG, or more precisely its pension service, will be responsible for both shipping and paying out the pension increases. Pensioners whose pension began after April 2004 will receive the first increased payment at the end of July. Pensioners who retired by March 2004 can expect payment as early as the end of June.

An increase in the pension can also lead to a tax return having to be submitted. However, it is important to note that this does not automatically result in additional tax payments. Pensioners should therefore inform themselves in good time and seek advice if necessary.

This notice should include the name, date of death and postal pension number of the deceased. It is advisable to also attach the death certificate. The relevant addresses for the notifications are the Deutsche Post AG Renten Service branch in Berlin for pensioners within Germany and a special address for pensioners outside Germany.
