How to withdraw your oppupational pension

AMF provides only one part of your total pension – your occupational pension. At minpension.se, you can view your entire pension, including the state pension you receive from the government, occupational pensions from jobs you have held throughout your working life (which may be with several different providers), and any private pension savings.

You can also explore different retirement scenarios by adjusting the start dates and payment periods for the various parts of your pension.

On My Pages at amf.se, you can find all the information about your pension with us. You can see how much you are expected to receive, the choices available to you, and when your payments will be made. Here, too, you can explore different start dates and payment periods.

You decide when payments from AMF should begin. However, it is important to be aware that your pension payments will start automatically at a certain age if you do not take any action—some pensions start automatically at age 65, while others start later. The age at which payments begin automatically depends on the type of occupational pension you have.

You can choose to start receiving your pension earlier or later if you wish. In that case, you need to notify us through My Pages between two and seven months before you want the payments to begin. On My Pages, you can also see the options available to you.

When can I start receiving my pension?

It is most common for an occupational pension to be paid out monthly for the rest of your life. This gives you a good idea of how much you can expect to receive from AMF each month throughout your retirement, which many people find reassuring. In most cases, however, you can choose a payout period other than lifelong payments.

If you would like to change the payout period, you need to notify us through My Pages between two and seven months before your pension payments are due to begin. On My Pages, you can also see the options available to you.

How long can I receive my pension?

With repayment cover, the money in your pension will be paid to your family if you die, but your own pension payments will be lower. As you approach retirement, it may therefore be a good idea to review your choice of refund protection. If your family would be financially secure without this protection, you may choose to opt out of it.

You can remove refund protection at any time. However, if you wish to add it, you need to apply for it well before your pension starts being paid out.
