How the estimate works
The e-EFKA guidance gives a 70% spouse share and a 25% share for each eligible child, subject to an overall limit and other conditions.
After three years, a spouse who works or receives another pension generally has their survivor benefit reduced by 50%.
The calculator applies the published percentages and reduces child shares proportionally if the total exceeds the deceased's pension.
It does not cover minimum amounts, the national pension, divorced spouses, dependent eligibility, insurance history or every special allocation. The official e-EFKA decision controls the amount.

Does this show the amount e-EFKA will pay?
