Here is the amount of a comfortable retirement for a French couple in 2023

On the political side, the year 2023 was marked by pension reform and the discontent of the French on this subject. Following this, many personalities were questioned about the amount of their pension, notably by being invited on the set of Jordan’s.

The host of Télé-Loisirs actually questioned a large number of stars about the amount of their salary. Among them, the radio presenter Brigitte Lahaie who was willing to reveal it or, more recently, Benjamin Castaldi who also delivered himself. On the other hand, Philippe Risoli had spoken more generally about his income. Retirement is therefore a subject of debate, which is still widely discussed today. But what about French couples, excluding personalities? What amount would allow them to live comfortably after their professional life?

How much should a French couple earn to live comfortably in retirement?

This corresponds to 18,108 gross per year. However, the current economic crisis is making living costs increasingly difficult to bear. You only need to take a trip to the supermarket to understand this.

Retired couples therefore find it particularly difficult to manage their monthly charges and expenses, given inflation. Faced with the current economic context, many French people say they need a retirement pension of 2,600 euros gross per month to live comfortably. Or, for a couple, 5,200 euros. This makes a significant difference of 1,000 euros in reality regarding the pensions received by retired couples. We should also know how long inflation will last, to improve the calculations.
