How to tax pensions

The value of 2,000 lei is deducted from the gross pension, which is not taxable. A 10% income tax is applied to the result obtained. The value obtained is deducted from the gross amount of the pension. The result is a net pension.
Specifically, a gross pension of 3,000 lei means a net pension of 2,900 lei. How we got to this result: 3000 lei minus 2000 lei (non-taxable value, according to the law) equal to 1000 lei.
10% of 1000 lei means 100 lei. 3000 lei minus 100 lei equals 2900 net lei.

More than 4.93 million people received a pension in the public pension system in September 2020, compared with almost 4.96 million in September 2019.
