Not a specialist at all: I relocated to Japan, and have only worked about one year in France... But you are missing a (big) piece of the French pension scheme: the Agirc-Arrco system, which is mandatory and complement the base system your link is referring to.
Someone at 60k€ should expect a total retirement of roughly 3,200€/month (back of the envelope calculation). Someone making 150k€ would expect a retirement of about 7,000€/month (again, back of the envelope calculation). Making 300k€, you would expect close to 14k€/month (again, back of the envelope calculation). I think that's pretty much the maximum you can get, it doesn't scale much further than that.
- BlargMcLarg 4y agoOff-topic: any reasons related to the current topic that you relocated to Japan?
- Xixi 4y agoAbsolutely none whatsoever. Financial concerns didn’t weight at all on my mind when deciding to move here, so I can’t tell you if it’s better or worse. I strongly doubt it’s better, especially for retirement, but I could be wrong. So I’m not even sure why I’m arguing about cross border salaries or retirement benefits…
- refurb 4y agoThe Agirc-Arrco is a separate, compulsory system that has separate contributions to the state pension.
