Will you receive the same if you request retirement with 40 or 48 years of contributions? See the impact on your pension

The article analyzes the differences between retiring with 40 or 48 years of contributions in Portugal, clarifying that years of contribution above 40 do not count just as three months each, but rather allow reducing the personal retirement age by four months for each complete year. With 40 years of contributions, it is possible to access early retirement through flexibility at age 60, but leaving before the personal retirement age implies penalties of 0.5% for each month of anticipation. With 48 years of contributions and at least 60 years, there is access to early pension without penalty under the very long careers regime. The pension value depends on various factors, including the best years of remuneration, and the calculation considers only up to 40 years of contributory career, although additional years can replace periods with lower salaries. Social Security recommends simulation before making any decision.
