Germany Retirement Calculators

Free, localized retirement planning tools updated for the 2026 financial year in Germany.

German retirement policy is mid-rebuild, and these tools track its moving parts. The Frühstart-Rente pays €10 a month into a locked, market-invested depot for children aged 6 to 18 from 2026, a compounding lesson that grows 25-fold by retirement. The Altersvorsorgedepot replaces Riester for new contracts from January 2027, with up to €540 Grundzulage plus €300 per child and no capital guarantee dragging returns into bonds. And the KVdR 9/10-rule checker answers the question that quietly decides decades of health-insurance costs for freelancers with mixed PKV/GKV histories.
