Your personal surcharge percentage is used to calculate how much you can receive in subsidies and supplements in addition to your pension.

The surcharge percentage can range between 0 and 100. The higher your surcharge percentage is, the more you can receive in heating supplements. If your surcharge percentage is 0, you are not eligible for heating supplements.

The incomes of you and potentially your spouse/partner beyond your pension can influence the amount of your personal surcharge percentage. Therefore, the surcharge percentage may change during the year if the income base used to calculate your pension changes.
