Ilmarinen’s administrative cost will decrease in 2025
At the start of next year, Ilmarinen’s customers’ administrative cost will decrease by roughly 10 per cent. The administrative cost is part of the TyEL insurance contribution, and in that respect, your TyEL contribution as our customer will decrease.
Administrative cost for 2025 will be reduced on average by approximately 10 % compared to 2024.
The price of earnings-related pension insurance is influenced by the sector’s common TyEL contribution as well as, among other things, company-specific contribution. The cost effectiveness of Ilmarinen's operations continued to improve, and operating expenses financed using loading income have lowered. This means directly lower contributions for our customers.
Read about how the TyEL contribution is determined
Ilmarinen has reduced the annual costs of managing pension insurance by a third, or almost EUR 50 million, since 2018.
What is the administrative cost?
The administrative cost is the part of the pension contribution that is used to cover a pension company’s operating costs. It has a rather modest impact on the earnings-related pension contribution. For Ilmarinen’s customers in 2025, it will be no more than 0.18 per cent of the payroll. As of the start of 2023, the administrative cost has been determined on a company-specific basis.
