Every year you live or work in the Netherlands, you contribute 2% to your state pension. To receive the full pension (100%), you must have contributed for 50 years. If you do not have the entire allocation, your pension is calculated using the number of years you contributed.
Individuals between the ages of 15 and 65 may lose 2% of their Dutch pension for each year they do not live in the Netherlands if they move outside of the country.
