Boost Your Belarusian Pension: Simple Steps to a Secure Retirement

Belarusian Pension Boost: A Guide to Increasing Your Retirement Income Belarus offers its citizens a chance to supplement their state pensions through a voluntary savings program. This system, detailed in a recent video by belarusnews.by12, allows individuals to increase their retirement income significantly. The program, run by the state-owned insurance company Stravita, guarantees 100% payout. The system works on a tiered contribution basis. "For every percentage point you contribute, your employer adds a similar amount," explains the video presenter. The most popular option is the '3+3' plan, where both employee and employer contribute 3% of the employee's salary. Alternatively, the '1+1' plan offers a 1% contribution from the employee matched by the employer. A less common option is the '2+2' plan. The video presenter emphasizes the importance of consistent contributions. "The longer you participate, the larger your pension will be," she states. The video also clarifies that only officially documented employment periods are considered when calculating the final pension amount. This program provides a valuable opportunity for Belarusians to secure a more comfortable retirement. The government's involvement and Stravita's guarantee add a layer of security and trust to the system.
