Estonia sets retirement age at 65 years and one month in 2027

In 2027, the retirement age in Estonia will be 65 years and one month, the ERR public broadcaster reports.

Minister of Social Protection Signe Riisalo (Reform) signed the draft of the government’s regulation on Tuesday.

The retirement age must be announced two years in advance, which means the government must confirm the retirement age for 2027 by the start of 2025.

From 2027, the retirement age will be based on the calendar year, not the year of birth. This means that a new retirement age is established for each calendar year.
