The best pension incomes are in the capital region and the worst in predominantly rural areas far from Uusimaa.
Finland the best pensions are in Kauniainen, according to the statistics of the Tax Administration. The poorest pensioners, on the other hand, are in Enontekiö. The information is from the 2022 tax year.
Pension incomes are now under pressure, as the government, which is reducing the funding of the public finances, is considering extending the cuts to pensioners as well.
“In my opinion, it is impossible to reach the desired result without interfering with pensions,” said the finance minister Riikka Purra (ps) published on Wednesday In an interview with HS.
If pensions are cut, it may be a problem, especially in rural areas. According to statistics, there are on average the smallest pensions, while people in cities also earn better in retirement.
When we list the ten municipalities in mainland Finland with the best pensions on average, they include all the municipalities in the capital region, a number of framework municipalities, and Hanko and Kaskinen. Of these, only Kaskinen, located in Ostrobothnia, is not in Uusimaa.
The median pension income is used in the comparison. The median means the middle number when the pension incomes of all pensioners in the region are ranked.
Instead, the ten municipalities with the lowest pensions are located in different parts of Finland. What they have in common is rural dominance.
