Calculator specific to Argentina. Laws, brackets and values are those currently in force in Argentina (ARCA, BCRA, ANSES).

Argentina's minimum retirement pension (haber mínimo jubilatorio) is the floor benefit administered by ANSES — the country's Social Security Administration — for retirees who reach the minimum contribution years under Law 24.241. Since 2024, the base amount is adjusted monthly by the consumer price index (IPC) to keep pace with Argentina's inflation. Eligible retirees whose pension falls at or near this floor also receive a complementary bonus (bono complementario), a discretionary monthly add-on. This calculator returns the total monthly benefit in Argentine pesos (ARS), combining the base pension with the bonus if you qualify. It is designed for retirees, family members, and anyone reviewing ANSES settlements.

How it works

Retirement income planning uses universal mathematical principles (understanding pension structures, time value of money, income optimization). This calculator applies standard industry formulas for pension calculations.

How it's calculated

ANSES minimum pension plus complementary bonus if applicable.

This calculator applies the formula using the values you enter, checking typical ranges and alerting when values fall outside reasonable thresholds.

Investment principles

  • Stick to your plan during market crises. Emotion is the worst advisor.

  • Diversify: don't concentrate in a single asset, sector, or country.

  • Keep costs low: expense ratios >1% annually eat 30% of returns over 30 years.

  • Long time horizon: equities work in 10+ year periods, not 1 year.

  • Rebalance annually: once per year is sufficient.
  • Important notes

    This calculation is a reference only. For critical decisions (financial, medical, legal), consult with a specialized professional. Values are current as of 2026 and reviewed periodically.

    Example calculation

    Base minimum pension: ARS 300,000.
    Complementary bonus: ARS 70,000 (eligible).
    Total monthly benefit: ARS 370,000.
    Total monthly benefit: ARS 370,000 (ARS 300,000 base + ARS 70,000 bonus).

    Worked examples

    Case 1: Retiree on the minimum pension who also receives the bonus

    A retiree has a base minimum pension of ARS 300,000 and qualifies for the complementary bonus of ARS 70,000.

    Base monthly pension: ARS 300,000.
    Eligible for the complementary bonus: +ARS 70,000.
    Total = 300,000 + 70,000 = ARS 370,000.
    The bonus represents about 19% of the total deposit.
    Total monthly income is ARS 370,000 (ARS 300,000 base + ARS 70,000 bonus). Note the bonus is a temporary top-up — it is not folded into the permanent base pension, so future IPC adjustments apply only to the 300,000 base.
