Educational model based on IGSS Agreement 1124 and its reforms: age 60 and 240 monthly contributions; pension = 50% of the base (first 120 months) + 0.5% per extra 6 months, 80% cap. Not pension advice — confirm your actual history with IGSS (igssgt.org). Verified 2026.

Can I retire under IGSS yet?

Beyond the pension amount, people ask: do I meet age and contribution rules? This tool focuses on eligibility (age + monthly contributions) and, if you enter an average salary, projects a monthly amount with the same educational model as the pension calculator.

Current official rule (confirm with IGSS)

Old-age pension requirements under IGSS Agreement 1124: 240 monthly contributions (= 20 years) and a minimum age of 60, the same for men and women. The pension is 50% of the last-60-months average (capped at Q9,000) + 0.5% per extra 6 months beyond the first 120 months, capped at 80%. People affiliated before 2011 may fall under a transitional scale; confirm with IGSS.

Inputs

| Field | Why it matters | |---|---| | Current age | Do you meet the age-60 rule? | | Years or months (cuotas) contributed | Do you reach 240 contributions / 20 years? | | Last-60-months average (optional) | Projects estimated monthly pension |

You can enter years or your monthly contributions directly (12 per year; 240 contributions = 20 years).

How the amount is projected

Pension percentage (Agreement 1124, Art. 16)

% = min(50% + 0.5% × (months contributed − 120) ÷ 6, 80%)

Monthly pension ≈ % × last-60-months average (capped at Q9,000)

If you are not eligible yet, the tool shows how many contributions or age years you still need.
