Quick answer
What should I watch out for with costs and risks?
Costs are certain. Profits are not.
The provider takes a little of your money every year for its work. Over many years that adds up to a lot.
Money in companies goes up and down. Without a guarantee, there can be less at the end than you paid in. Many different companies and a lot of time lower the risk. They do not remove it.
- Compare the yearly costs
- Standard account: at most 1%
- A guarantee costs growth
- You can lose money

How much could add up for you?
More settingsFor everyone who wants more detail.
For example, once you earn more after your training.
At this age you stop saving. From then on, the money is paid out to you. The law usually allows this from age 65.
Money you have already saved for old age and invest from the start.
How much your money grows on average per year, before costs. Pick what suits you: if you have plenty of time and stay calm when things go up and down, you can expect a bit more. If you prefer it steady, a bit less. We calculate with 6%.
This is what the provider takes from your money every year. 1% means: €10 a year for every €1,000.
You pay in a little more every year – for example because your salary goes up.
Most things get more expensive over time. We use this value to work out what your money will be worth later. The European Central Bank (ECB) aims for inflation of 2% a year – that is why we calculate with 2%.
2 % is the official target of the European Central Bank.
Not included: taxes and one-off costs when signing up. The payout in old age is only a rough estimate. How exactly we calculate

Costs and fees
