FAQ
What age can you retire in the Bahamas? The retirement age in the Bahamas is 65, although seniors can claim a reduced benefit from the age of 60. To claim retirement benefits, a person must have contributed 150 payments to the scheme since its inception in 1974.
To be eligible for the pension, the person has to be a citizen, or an ordinary resident in Bahamas and should have worked as an employed or self-employed person for a period of no less than 12 consecutive months within the 15 years preceding the time of application.
Retiring in The Bahamas can be an excellent choice for those seeking a tropical paradise with beautiful beaches, a warm climate, and a relaxed lifestyle. The islands offer a friendly expat community, tax incentives, a range of recreational activities, and a high standard of living.
India, South Africa, and Turkey all have a retirement age of 60, while women in Turkey can retire at 57. As the country with the youngest retirement age, Indonesia will increase its age by one year for every three years, until it reaches 65 in 2043.
Currently, the earliest you can voluntarily release your LGPS pension is age 55. The government is planning to increase this to age 57 from 5 April 2028. However, if you were paying into your LGPS pension before 4 November 2021, it is likely you will still be able to take your pension from age 55 if you choose to.
Pre-retirement transition leave is a special working arrangement where if you are within two years of retirement, you may request to have your workweek reduced by up to 40% or up to two out of the five working days.
A worker can choose to retire as early as age 62, but doing so may result in a reduction of as much as 30 percent. Starting to receive benefits after normal retirement age may result in larger benefits. With delayed retirement credits, a person can receive his or her largest benefit by retiring at age 70.
Calculating the retirement age depends on your year of birth. If you were born before 1948, then you can retire at 55. If you were born in 1970 or later, you can enjoy minimum retirement at 57. And if you were born between 1948 and 1970, your minimum retirement age will be between 55 and 2 months and 56 and 10 months.
Age may be just a number, but that number matters when it comes to retiring. The common definition of early retirement is any age before 65 — that's when you may qualify for Medicare benefits. Currently, men retire at an average age of 64, while for women the average retirement age is 62.
However, you unfortunately cannot begin receiving Social Security retirement benefits at 55. The earliest age you can begin drawing Social Security retirement benefits is 62. But there's a catch – taking Social Security benefits prior to reaching your full retirement age results in a reduction of your benefit amount.
