Calculation of pensions in the Republic of Kazakhstan
Today in Kazakhstan, the retirement age of men is equal to63 years, and women - 58 years. The government since 2018 wants for women to raise the retirement age by six months every year. This will affect only the female population. Such an increase in the retirement age for women will continue until 2027, before reaching the retirement age of 63 years.
Such a law was adopted, since seventy percent of pensioners are women. In addition, the legislation took into account the category of people for whom the retirement age will be reduced:
- For women who have given birth or adopted more than four children, the retirement age begins with 53 years.
- 50 years is the retirement age for men,who have labor experience of 25 years and more, subsequently suffered nuclear weapons tests, or if such a pensioner lived for five years in the radiation zone between August 29, 1949 and July 5, 1963.
- 45 years for women who have a work outputis twenty years and more affected by nuclear weapon tests if they lived five years in the radiation zone from August 29, 1949 to July 5, 1963.
What kind of pension in Kazakhstan and types of payment for state aid
Payments of pensions in the Republic of Kazakhstan are carried out by special systems. There are three accrual systems:
- Basic.This type of accrual is increased every year and as of 2017 equals 12 thousand 802 KZT. This type of state aid is received by all pensioners, regardless of their earnings and deductions.
- Labor, or solidarity.Charged only to people who have worked for more than six months, and who worked until 1988. If the experience is less than six months, citizens will receive basic payments. Here, only the length of service is taken into account, since prior to 1988 no pension contributions were made. To receive a full pension, the length of service for a man must be at least twenty-five years, and for a woman - at least twenty. If the calculation is less, then the payments will be less.
- Accumulative pension. Since 2014pensions in Kazakhstan were transferred to the EPPF SA (single accumulation fund). When reaching the retirement age, a citizen of the state can sign a contract with the EPPF JSC about receiving savings from a pension. Accumulations can be paid monthly, at a time or once a year.
How does the accrual of pensions in the Republic of Kazakhstan

Pensions in Kazakhstan are divided into minimal andthe maximum. The lowest payment is 28 thousand 148 tenge, and the maximum - 93 thousand 29 tenge. A Kazakh citizen, if there is an experience, but there was not enough income, the pension will be minimal. If a citizen had a high labor income, the maximum pension can be accrued with a coefficient of 0.75 of the maximum amount and will be equal to 69,772 tenge.
Getting funded pension
In Kazakhstan, except for state, basic andlabor pensions, there are four types of labor security payments that are paid from the Single Accumulation Pension Fund. Payments are made from pension and voluntary contributions.

- payment from the EPPF at the exit to another permanent place of residence, beyond the borders of the state;
- in connection with the death of a person who received these amounts (funds are given to heirs and for burial of the deceased).
