Good News for German Pensioners: Expected 3.5% Increase in 2025
Pensioners in Germany may see their benefits rise by 3.5% in July 2025, according to the draft of the government’s pension insurance report. This anticipated increase would exceed the expected inflation rate but is lower than this year’s adjustment of 4.57%. While the forecast is promising, the exact percentage will be finalized by the federal cabinet in spring, with potential for changes based on economic and wage developments. Last year, a similar prediction was adjusted upward from 3.5% to 4.57%.
