German pension increases from July 2025: More money for pensioners

On 1 July 2025, German pensions for approximately 21 million pensioners will increase by 3.74% in both eastern and western Germany. This will raise the current pension value from 39.32 euros to 40.79 euros. This means, for example, that a pension of £1,000 will increase to £1,037.40. The pension adjustment ensures that pensioners participate in the wage development of employees.

More information about pension increases can be found on the website of the German pension insurance.
