Zakon o pokojninskem in invalidskem zavarovanju (ZPIZ)

Varstveni dodatek k starostni pokojnini se odmeri od razlike med pokojnino in zneskom najnižje pokojnine za polno pokojninsko dobo (osnova za odmero varstvenega dodatka) in znaša 60% osnove pri uživalcu pokojnine in 70% osnove pri uživalki pokojnine s pokojninsko dobo 15 ali manj let. Za vsako nadaljnje dopolnjeno leto pokojninske dobe, se višina varstvenega dodatka poveča za 2% s tem, da ne presega 100% navedene razlike.
