**Considering the evolution of life expectancy recorded in 2024 and 2025, the standard age to access retirement pension in the Portuguese general social security system in 2027 will increase to 66 years and 11 months.**





[Ordinance no. 476/2025/1, of December 29](https://diariodarepublica.pt/dr/detalhe/portaria/476-2025-992879815) was published in Official Gazette, increasing to 66 years and 11 months the standard age to access retirement pension in the Portuguese general social security system in 2027.

This measure is a consequence of the applicable rules laid down in [Decree-law no. 187/2007, of May 10](https://diariodarepublica.pt/dr/legislacao-consolidada/decreto-lei/2007-34524275), that establish that the standard age to access retirement pension in the Social Security general system is defined considering the average life expectancy at 65 years old in the second and third years prior to the beginning of the pension.

This Ordinance which comes into force on January 1, 2026, also updated the sustainability factor to 0,8237, to be applicable when calculating retirement pensions’ amount, when such pensions are granted or converted.
