Støttealder

Støttealder, also known as retirement age, is the age at which individuals are eligible to receive retirement benefits from the state. In Norway, the current støttealder is 67 years old for both men and women, as of 2023. This age was increased from 65 in 2010, and further increases are planned in the coming years.

The støttealder is determined by the Norwegian government and is influenced by factors such as the country's demographic trends, economic conditions, and the sustainability of the pension system. The goal is to ensure that the pension system remains financially stable and that retirees receive adequate financial support.

Individuals who reach the støttealder are eligible to receive a state pension, which is based on their earnings history. In addition to the state pension, many Norwegians also receive pensions from their employers or private pension funds.

The støttealder is a significant milestone in many people's lives, marking the transition from working life to retirement. It is important for individuals to plan for their retirement and ensure that they have adequate savings and other sources of income to support themselves in their later years.
