Applying for Part-Time Pension and Rules in Rotterdam

Part-time pension combines working with partial pension withdrawal, with specific fiscal rules that also apply in Rotterdam. From age 55, you can withdraw 10-50% while working part-time, without full revision interest. Fiscally, this falls under box 1, with retention of partial employment tax credit. Benefits: smoother AOW accrual and flexible income planning, perfect for Rotterdam residents in sectors such as the port, logistics or maritime industry where collective labour agreements often offer extra pension flexibility. Disadvantage: pro-rata pension reduction remains. Example: with 50% part-time pension, you receive €800 net extra per month on €1,600 gross pension, ideal for those continuing to work in Rotterdam-South or port areas. Rules differ per fund; Rotterdam collective labour agreements at companies like Port of Rotterdam Authority or Erasmus MC often offer additional options. Apply in time via your pension administrator such as ABP or PFZW and expect 3 months processing time.
