Italy’s pension age rises by one month in 2027 under current rules
Under the rules described for Italy, most people will need to wait one extra month to qualify for a pension from 1 January 2027.
The increase is part of an adjustment linked to life expectancy, with another two months due to be added in 2028.
The standard old-age pension will require people to be 67 years and one month old and to have at least 20 years of contributions.
People who began contributing from 1996 will also need a pension worth at least the social allowance, estimated at about €554 a month in 2027.
Some exceptions apply: workers in arduous or demanding jobs and people with severe disabilities have different age requirements.
A contribution-based early pension is also set to become available to all workers, including those who paid contributions before 1996.
The government’s budget law could still change the rules before they take effect.
