The Danish pension system is structured in a way so you can get your pension from both the state and through your collective agreement.
Pensions in the collective agreements in agriculture
The labour market pension is a part of the collective agreements. When you work in the agriculture or horticulture in a workplace that is covered by a collective agreement, you and your employer will contribute to your pension when you have been employed for 2 months.
The total amount of the pension contribution is equal to 12,99% of your wages. Your employer pays 8,66%, while you pay 4,33%.
Health care insurance
Your pension money will be paid into a pension account via PensionDanmark. You pension scheme also includes an insurance and health-care scheme that will be in force for as long as payments are made into the scheme.
State pension
The Danish word for state pension is ‘Folkepension’ and it is paid by public authorities. The age of obtaining state pension is gradually increasing from 65 to 67 years from 2019 until 2022.
As a main rule, you must be a Danish citizen and have residence in Denmark to obtain state pension.
