The average retirement pension will rise by 570 euros per year with the increase of 2.7%
The 2.7% revaluation for pensions in 2026 confirmed this Friday with the definitive CPI data will mean, approximately, 570 additional euros per year for people with the average retirement pension, while the system’s average pensions (widows, orphans, etc.) will increase by around 500 euros per year.
According to data provided by the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, a pensioner who receives 1,511 per month (coinciding with the average retirement pension of 2025) In 2026 you will receive one of 1,552 euros per monthwhich represents a monthly increase of about 41 euros and 571 euros cumulatively for the year.
The 2.7% increase benefits the about 9.4 million people who receive 10.4 million contributory pensions of the Social Security system.
The 734,900 pensions of the State’s passive class regime will also be revalued according to the same index; while there should be a somewhat greater increase, still unspecified, for the minimum and non-contributory ones.
The formula used to calculate the revaluation for the next year is the one established by the last pension reform and that takes into account the year-on-year average CPI calculated between December of the previous year (2024) and November of the current year (2025), data that was confirmed this Friday.
In a note, the Minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, Elma Saiz, highlighted that “the revaluation of pensions is a right of our pensioners” and that, with the publication of the final CPI data for November, “the maintenance of the purchasing power of 9.4 million pensioners is ensured for another year.”
