Pension and economy
As an employer with a collective agreement, you pay premiums to the employees’ occupational pensions on a monthly basis. Premiums are there to ensure financial security in various situations.
With the ITP premium, your employees receive a larger pension, insurance which provides compensation in the event of illness and money to their surviving family members in the event of death. Well invested money, in other words.

Index-linked pensions – our ambition
Our ambition is also to index-link the pensions through pension supplements. Pension supplements are an annual indexation of the retirement pension in ITP 2. Thus, the retirees receive compensation for increased prices. Since the agreement on ITP 2 was concluded, Alecta has been able to fulfil its ambition to index-link pensions.
Premium maximisation in ITP 2
In the defined benefit ITP 2, there is a limit to how high the employer’s premium for the retirement pension may be, a maximum premium.
The limit to how high the employer’s premium for the retirement pension may be
| Maximum premium for 2023 | |
|---|---|
| Pensionable annual salary under 7.5 income base amounts. | 6 percent |
| Pensionable annual salary between 7.5 and 30 income base amounts. | 52 percent |
In the case of an agreed retirement age prior to the age of 65, higher percentages apply.
The part of the premium which exceeds the maximum limit is financed through a collective equalisation premium paid by all employers.
