The latter is based on a certain standard of what constitutes a &#8220;good pension. In the Netherlands, that standard is approximately 1.875% of pensionable earnings per year of service, based on 40 years.   <\/p>\n<h3>Retirement<\/h3>\n<p>Someone who receives a pension.<\/p>\n<h3>Pensionable income<\/h3>\n<p>Your pensionable income is the starting point for accruing your pension. It consists of your salary, half-year benefits, shift bonuses and sometimes bonuses. You accrue pension (capital) over your pensionable income minus the deductible: this is your pension base.  <\/p>\n<h3>Pension base<\/h3>\n<p>That part of your salary on which you actually accrue pension (capital). It consists of your annual pensionable income minus the so-called deductible. The deductible is reset every year. DB and DC pension plans each have their own pension base. You can find your basis on your annual pension statement and in MySPIN.    <\/p>\n<h3>Pension capital<\/h3>\n<p>Same as DC capital, capital you accumulate in a DC plan. DC stands for Defined Contribution. SPIN invests this capital for you. At retirement, you buy a pension with your DC capital. With this plan, you know how much you are paying into your pension now, but not exactly how high the benefit will be later.    <\/p>\n<h3>Pension Agreement<\/h3>\n<p>Contingency agreements between employers and employees regarding pensions. Depending on the type of plan, at SPIN this is a: &#8211; benefit agreement (for DB plans)or a contribution agreement (for <a href=\"#D\">DC plans<\/a>). <\/p>\n<h3>Pension Planner<\/h3>\n<p>Do you want to know how much pension you will receive later from SPIN? And whether this is enough to make ends meet? With the Pension Planner in My SPIN you can easily check this. You can also calculate what pension choices will affect the amount of your pension. For example, if you retire early.    <\/p>\n<h3>Pension Regulations<\/h3>\n<p><span data-subtree=\"aimfl,mfl\" data-copy-service-computed-style=\"font-family: \"Google Sans\", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);\">the <\/span>pension regulations<!--TgQPHd|&#091;&#093;--> is the legal document outlining the precise ground rules, rights and obligations surrounding the pension plan.
