How much can I earn extra as a pensioner with a flexi-job?

As a 60+ with a retirement pension, you may earn unlimited extra income through a flexi-job. There is no maximum amount per month. Moreover, your wages are completely free of taxes and social contributions. Note: you must meet the specific flexi-job conditions (see next question). Also be careful if you receive a survivor's pension or income guarantee for the elderly, as limits may apply.

What are the main conditions for a flexi-job as a pensioner in 2026?

The two core conditions: you must be at least 60 years old and receive a retirement pension. In addition, you may not work in the same position or for the same employer as your last job before retirement. Furthermore, the general flexi-job rules apply: you work a maximum of 9 months per calendar year for the same employer, and you have a framework agreement. From 2026, additional relaxations apply for certain sectors.

Can I earn 500 euros per month tax-free as a pensioner?

Yes, that is possible. There is no limit on the amount you earn as a flexi-jobber. Whether you earn an extra 300 euros or 1000 euros per month, it remains tax-free. Keep in mind that you must respect activity limits if you combine a statutory pension or other benefits. So check your personal situation.

What types of flexi-jobs are there for seniors?

The range is extremely wide. Popular options include: shop assistant, warehouse worker, driver, administrative employee, cleaner, garden maintenance, hospitality worker, care assistant, and numerous jobs in the events and sports sector. Through Experza you can find per municipality what is concretely available, often at companies that explicitly welcome 60+.

Are there any disadvantages to a flexi-job for seniors?

A flexi-job offers many advantages, but watch out for a few points. You do not build up additional pension rights, and you are not entitled to holiday pay or end-of-year bonus (unless otherwise agreed). Also, you may not work too much for the same employer, otherwise you risk reclassification. Make sure you know the rules, then it is mainly a nice way to have extra income without worries.

Can I do a flexi-job with my old employer or in the same position?

No, that is not allowed. The law stipulates that you may not perform a flexi-job in the same position or for the same employer as your last employment before retirement. This restriction also applies to early retirement. If you do something completely different after retirement, you are safe.
