Applying for Part-Time Pension and Rules in Amsterdam

In Amsterdam, part-time pension combines working with partial pension drawdown, tailored to the city's dynamic labour market. From age 55, you can draw 10-50% while working part-time in sectors such as finance, tech or port logistics, without full revision interest. Tax-wise, this falls under box 1, with retention of partial employment tax credit – crucial for Amsterdammers with high living costs. Benefits: smoother AOW accrual via supplementary schemes at employers such as ABN AMRO or the municipality, plus flexible income planning for the expensive housing market. Disadvantage: pro-rata pension reduction still applies. Example: with 50% part-time pension, you receive €850 net extra per month on €1,700 gross pension, taking into account Amsterdam's tax burden. Rules vary per fund; local collective labour agreements in the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area often provide extra flexibility, such as with ABP or PME. Apply in good time via your pension administrator – expect 3 months processing time, especially with the administrative pressure in the region. Optimise your bridge pension with this and combine with Amsterdam's senior initiatives for working 55-plus.
