Applying for Part-Time Pension and Rules in Leiden

Part-time pension combines working with partial pension withdrawal, with specific fiscal rules that also apply in Leiden. From age 55, you can withdraw 10-50% while working part-time, without full revision interest. Fiscally, this falls under box 1, with retention of partial labour tax credit. Benefits: smoother AOW accrual and flexible income planning, perfect for Leiden residents at the university or LUMC. Disadvantage: pro-rata pension reduction remains. Example: with 50% part-time pension, you receive €800 net extra per month on €1,600 gross pension, ideal for phased retirement in the Leiden region. Rules vary per fund; collective labour agreements at Leiden Bio Science Park or municipality often offer extra flexibility. Apply in time via your pension administrator such as ABP for education or PFZW for care, and expect 3 months processing time.
