All About Retirement in Iceland
In Iceland retirement pensions are made up of social insurance payments (TR), payments from pension funds, supplemental pension savings and other savings.
Payments from pension funds reduce the amount received from the social insurance fund, so it is important that pension applicants consult with the Social Insurance Administration (TR) about their rights.
