[ ARTICLE 2]
Calculation of the Pensionable Income
(1) In the case of a person who is to be treated as an employed person, the yearly average of
the basic wage or salary during the best three consecutive calendar years within the last ten
consecutive calendar years immediately preceding his retirement or invalidity in terms of this
Act, as the case may be, on which the required contribution had been paid or deemed to have
been paid in terms of this Act or, if he has been in employment for less than three consecutive
calendar years within the said last ten calendar years, during any such number of consecutive
calendar months as may be the best in his case within the said last ten calendar years, as may be
increased by the applicable wage increases required by law to be awarded generally in respect
of each subsequent year of each of the said last ten calendar years.
(2) In the case of a person who is to be treated as a self employed person, the yearly
average of his net income on which the required contribution had been paid during the last ten
calendar years, or part thereof if he has not been in self- employment for the whole said ten year
period, immediately preceding his retirement or invalidity in terms of this Act, as the case may
be, as may be increased by the applicable wage increases required by law to be awarded
generally, as long as each such increase is less than the net increase obtaining from year to year
between one net income and another in respect of each subsequent year of each of the said last
ten calendar years or part thereof during which he was in self employment; sohowever that,
where during the said last ten calendar years he had paid a contribution on a net income that was
higher than that actually received, the net income taken for the purposes of this calculation in
respect of any such particular calendar year shall be the higher of such net income.
(3) In the case of a person who is to be treated as a self-occupied person, the yearly average
of his net earnings on which the required contribution had been paid during the last ten calendar
years, or part thereof if he has not been in self-occupation for the whole said ten-year period
immediately preceding his retirement or invalidity in terms of this Act, as the case may be, as
may be increased by the applicable wage increase required by law to be awarded generally as
long as each such increase is less than the net increase obtaining from year to year between one
net earning and another in respect of each subsequent year of each of the said ten calendar years
or part thereof during which he was in self-occupation. So however, that for the purposes of this
paragraph, in the case of a person who prior to the 1st January 1996, was a gainfully occupied
self-employed person, his annual net income for each calendar year prior to the aforementioned
date shall be deemed to be as if it were his net earnings.
(4) For the purposes of the foregoing paragraphs of this Schedule, the basic wage or salary
or the net income or the net earnings as the case may be, and the resultant pensionable income
or any amount substituted therefor under the provisions of this Act shall not exceed such
amount as the Minister may, with the concurrence of the Minister responsible for finance, by
order in the Gazette from time to time determine.
(5)
(a) For the purposes of this Act, in the case of a person born on or before the 31st
December 1961 whose retirement occurs on or after the 1st January 2007, the basic
wage or salary or the net income or the net earnings as the case may be, and the
resultant pensionable income or any amount substituted therefor under the
provisions of this Act shall not exceed €16,207.78 increased by such sum that the
Government may award as a cost of living increase, in the rate of the national
minimum wage as is payable to persons of eighteen years of age or over under the
provisions of the Employment and Industrial Relations Act, hereinafter in this
paragraph referred to as the "cost of living increase" as from the effective date of
such increase
Provided that in the case of a person born on or before the 31st December 1951, the
resultant pensionable income including any such cost of living increase shall not
exceed the sum of €17,470.30
Provided further that in the case of a person born during calendar years 1952 to
1961, the resultant pensionable income including any such cost of living increase
shall not exceed the sum of €20,964.36.
(b) For the purposes of this Act, in the case of a person born on or after the 1st January
1962 whose retirement occurs on or after the 1st January 2007, the basic wage or
salary or the net income or the net earnings as the case may be, and the resultant
pensionable income or any amount substituted therefor under the provisions of this
Act shall not exceed
€16,207.78 increased by such sum that the Government awards as a cost of
(i)
living increase, in respect of the years 2007 to 2010 as from the effective
dates of such increases;
(ii) the sum referred to in (i) increased as on the 1st January of each year,
between 2011 and 2013 by one third of the difference between the sum
referred to in (i) and €20,964.36;
(iii) with effect from the 1st January 2014, €20,964.36 increased annually by such
sum as corresponds to seventy percent of the percentage increase in the
national average wage for the previous calendar year as published by the
National Statistics Office established by virtue of article 9 of the Malta
Statistics Authority Act, plus thirty percent of the inflation rate as published
by the said National Statistics Office for the previous calendar year.".
