Section 68 Current pension value

(1) The current pension value is the amount corresponding to a monthly pension on the basis of the age of the general pension scheme, if contributions have been paid for a calendar year on the basis of the average salary. On 30 June 2005, the current pension value is 26.13 Euro. It changes to 1 July of each year by the current pension value up to date with the factors for change

1.

gross wages and salaries per employee,

2.

the contribution rate to the general pension insurance scheme; and

3.

the sustainability factor

(2) Gross wages and salaries per employee are the gross wages and salaries determined by the Federal Statistical Office per employee, without any person in employment matters, with compensation for additional expenses, in each case after: the nomenclature of national accounts. The factor for the change in gross wages and salaries per employee shall be determined by dividing their value for the previous calendar year by the value for the preceding calendar year. In doing so, the value for the preceding calendar year shall be adjusted to the development of the income of the statutory pension insurance by multiplying it by the factor arising from the ratio of the change in gross wages and salaries per employee in the previous calendar year compared with the third calendar year, and the change in the gross salary and salary sum determined from the insurance statistics of the Deutsche Rentenversicherung Bund. Average employees without civil servants, including (3) The factor resulting from the change in the rate of contribution to the general pension scheme shall be determined by:

1.

the average contribution rate in the general pension insurance of the previous calendar year is subtracted from the difference of 100 from the hundred and the pension percentage for 2012,

2.

the average contribution rate in the general pension scheme for the preceding calendar year is subtracted from the difference of 100 from the hundred and the pension contribution for 2012;

and then the value determined in accordance with point 1 shall be divided by the value determined in accordance with point 2. Pension provision for 2012 is the value which has been determined in the fifth chapter for 2012 as a retirement pension. (4) The sustainability factor is determined by the change in the pension ratio in the previous year. The calendar year is multiplied by a parameter alpha compared to the previous calendar year, and the value is increased by one. The pensioner quotient is determined by dividing the number of equivalence pensioners by the number of equivalence contributors. The number of equivalence pensioners is determined by the fact that the total volume of pensions, calculated from the results of the accounts to EUR 1,000, minus the expenses for pensions and pension contributions of a calendar year, by a rule-based retirement pension of the same calendar year from the general pension scheme with 45 pay points. The number of equivalence contributors is determined by the fact that the total volume of contributions of all employees covered by the general pension insurance scheme, which is limited to EUR 1,000 from the results of the accounts, is determined by a small amount of the total volume of contributions. Persons employed (§ 8 fourth book) and the recipients of unemployment benefit for a calendar year are divided by the contribution of the general pension insurance scheme of the same calendar year to the average fee referred to in Appendix 1. The respective number of equivalence pensioners and the equivalence contributor is to be calculated precisely to 1,000 persons. The alpha parameter shall be 0.25. (5) The new current pension value to be determined in place of the current pension value under paragraphs 1 to 4 shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:

	BE (deep) t-1	100-AVA (deep) 2012-RVB (deep) t-1		(()		(RQ (deep) t-1	)		)
ARt=ARt-1 x	-----------	x ---------------------------------	X	(()	1-	------------	)	x alpha + 1	)

The following are:
AR (deep) t	=	the current pension value to be determined as from 1 July,
AR (deep) t-1	=	up-to-date pension value,
BE (deep) t-1	=	Gross wages and salaries per employee in the previous calendar year,
BE (deep) t-2	=	Gross wages and salaries per employee in the previous calendar year, taking into account the change in the amount of gross wages and salaries to be paid, without any official, including the recipients of unemployment benefit,
AVA (deep) t-1	=	Pension contribution for 2012 of 4 of the hundred,
RVB (deep) t-1	=	average contribution rate in the general pension insurance in the previous calendar year,

RQ (deep) t-1	=	the pensioner ratio in the previous calendar year,
RQ (deep) t-2	=	Pensioner ratio in the previous calendar year.

(6) (7) In determining the new current pension value for the past calendar year, the data available to the Federal Statistical Office at the beginning of the calendar year relating to the gross wages and salaries per employee and for the the previous calendar year and the third calendar year shall be based on the data used in determining the current pension value in respect of the gross wages and salaries per employee.
