Key questions

What to clarify first

Your pension gap

Compare what the German pension system will pay with the income you want later. Most expats find a gap.

Company and private pension

Employer pension and private contracts can close the gap. Check conditions, costs and what happens if you change jobs or leave Germany.

Investing regularly

Savings plans and funds build wealth over time. Costs, risk and time horizon decide what fits.

Taxes on your plan

Contributions and returns are taxed differently depending on the product. Planning this early saves money.
