About

Meng Pensioun

Read full description

How much longer until retirement? Meng Pensioun shows your countdown down to the second. Choose your planned retirement date and track calendar days, weeks, hours, minutes and seconds. Set your working week and include Luxembourg public holidays and your planned leave. Keep the original cinematic hourglass theme or choose the optional tropical beach theme for Countdown, Statistics and Settings. Follow the Journey as a cartoon character grows older, with a little office humor along the way. Explore an indicative gross pension estimate in Settings → My pension. Choose your employment type and verified pension scheme, enter your career year by year, or read a statement with the iPhone camera, a photo or a PDF. Check all extracted figures before saving. Add expected gross pensionable earnings and insured months for each future year to compare your own scenarios. The estimate uses the selected retirement year's statutory rates and a June 2026 euro basis. Future indexation and legislative changes are not predicted. Historical earnings may require official annual conversion factors. Some public-service or international careers require authority-confirmed personal figures. The app does not determine retirement eligibility, net income or an official pension award. Confirm your rights and amounts with your pension authority. Your countdown preferences stay on the device; financial records are saved in its protected device-only storage. Document recognition runs on the iPhone. No account, tracking or document upload. The app works offline and is available in Luxembourgish, French, German and English. One purchase, no subscription.
