How we calculate your Anw survivor benefit

  • Imagine that you earn €1,200 per month.
  • The first €997.50 is not taken into account, so we subtract this amount from your income:
  • €1,200 - €997.50 = €202.50
  • This leaves €202.50. We take 2/3 of this amount into account, that is €135.00.
  • The amount deducted from your Anw survivor benefit is therefore €135.00.

Income that is not deducted from Anw benefit

Some types of income are not deducted from Anw benefit.

For example: maintenance/alimony or a survivor pension or benefit from your partner’s annuity.
