Notes
- Parliament (Stortinget) has proposed raising the pension age gradually in line with life expectancy, with a normal pension age instead of the fixed 67; each cohort would work one to two months longer. Nav says it has not been decided when the changes apply. No change is in force.
- Pension can be drawn from 62 only with high enough accrued pension, and the monthly amount is lower because it is spread over more years. The lower limit of 62 would rise in step with a higher normal pension age. Partial withdrawal (20, 40, 50, 60, 80 or 100 per cent) is possible.
