Pensions increases from 2022: band-by-band calculations
Pensions increases from 2022. Here we are. In January, a pension of 2,000 euros gross per month will benefit from a (gross) increase of 34 euros per month, a pension of 2,500 euros gross per month, ie between 4 and 5 times the minimum INPS, will get almost 42 euros per month more . In fact, the full equalization of pensions will restart from 2022, de facto frozen in 2020 in the face of negative inflation of 0.3%.
The decree of the Ministry of Economy of November 17, he writes The sun 24 hours, has in fact provided that the percentage of variation for the calculation of the equalization of pensions for the year 2021 will be determined as equal to +1.7 from 1 January 2022, except for the adjustment to be made at the time of equalization for the following year . The equalization of pensions consists in the annual revaluation of the amounts of pension treatments to adjust them to the increase in the cost of living.
Depending on the amount of the pension allowance, they apply different percentages of adjustment to the increase in the cost of living, based on different bands, calculated in relation to the minimum treatment. In particular, as the allowance increases, decreasing percentages are applied, established by law, according to a scale that has been modified several times over the years. As a result of this mechanism, only the lowest portions of the pension are fully guaranteed against inflation, while the highest bands are destined to gradually lose, at least in part, their purchasing power.
Providing the first estimates on the impact that the solution will have on treatments was a dossier fromInps. Pensions with an amount up to 4 times the minimum treatment (equal to that of 2021 which is 515.58 euros), i.e. up to 2,062.32 euros, will obtain an increase of 1.7%; pensions above 4 and up to 5 times the minimum INPS treatment, i.e. between € 2,062.33 and € 2,577.90, will obtain a revaluation of 1.53%, without prejudice to the revaluation of 1.7% of the bracket until to 2,062.32 euros. Pensions of more than 5 times the minimum INPS, i.e. over € 2,577.90, will achieve an increase of 1.275%, without prejudice to the revaluation of 1.7% of the bracket up to € 2,062.32 and of 1.53% of the range between 2,062.33 and 2,577.90 euros.
To ensure the renewal of pensions in time for 2022 and to make possible the first liquidation of pensions with effect from January of next year – we read on The sun 24 hours – INPS used the equalization index available as of October 15, 2021, prepared by the General Statistical Actuarial Coordination, equal to 1.6%. With a subsequent processing, on the March 2022 installment, the equalization differences will be paid where due.
The Mef decree of 16 November 2020 had determined the percentage of variation for the calculation of the equalization of pensions for the year 2019 in an amount equal to 0.5%. For 2020 it was determined to be 0.0%, having been the change in FOI (the consumer price index) between the period January-December 2019 and the period January-December 2020 negative and equal to – 0 , 3%. The decree of 17 November 2021 confirmed the final value for 2020. For 2021, however, the same provision of 17 November determined the percentage of variation to the extent of + 1.7%.
