Pension System

5.2/10

Comoros operates a mandatory contributory PAYG pension system (CNPS) with old-age pensions calculated at 2% per year of service based on average salary of last 5 years. System covers civil servants, private sector employees, and military/police with minimum 15-year contribution period and retirement age 60, but benefits often insufficient to maintain pre-retirement living standards.

Pension Adequacy

Pension replacement rates typically range 30-60% depending on contribution history and earnings. Example: 30-year contributor earning KMF 200,000/month receives KMF 120,000/month (60% replacement). Limited supplementary private pension uptake and modest benefit levels create adequacy challenges for retirees.
