As the years go by, workers in a dependency relationship analyze what values they will receive from the Ecuadorian Social Security Institute (IESS) after their years of service, when deciding to retire.
To find out the amount, the IESS, through the Pension System, has developed the “retirement simulator” computer service, which allows all those affiliated with compulsory general insurance and voluntary insurance to obtain an approximate projection of the monthly income or pension that will be able to receive at retirement.
What are the options that the employee has to access the employer’s retirement?
This system enables quick access to the insured’s work history, which facilitates permanent monitoring of their contributions.
Members of the Ecuadorian Institute of Social Security can access this “Retirement Simulator” service, from their first month of contribution and from anywhere in the world, just by entering the web portal: www.iess.gob.ec/afiliados .
For a member to be able to retire, the following requirements must be taken into account, based on the member’s age and years of contribution.
Age | Impositions | Years of contribution |
---|---|---|
no age limit | 480 or more | 40 or more |
60 years or older | 360 or more | 30 or more |
65 years or older | 180 or more | 15 or more |
70 years or older | 120 or more | 10 or more |
