To sum up, there are many factors that affect pensions, including the length of payment time, the historical average payment ratio, the money in personal accounts, retirement age and many other aspects. When other factors are the same, if the base of both contributions is the same, then the pensions received in the future will be the same. It’s just that the employer’s contribution to employee pension insurance is high. If you are paying for it personally, it is better to participate in personal freelance pension insurance.
