Italy's INPS Releases 2026 Pension Payment Calendar
Listen to the story
Italy's social security agency, INPS, has released its official calendar for pension payments in 2026.
The calendar sets out the exact dates when pensioners across Italy will receive their monthly payments.
Among the details published is information about the November 2026 payslip, known in Italian as the 'cedolino'.
The payslip shows the full breakdown of a pension payment, including any changes from the previous month.
According to the report, the November payslip may include certain deductions.
Deductions are amounts of money subtracted from the total pension before it is paid out.
The report also mentions adjustments, known as 'conguagli' in Italian.
An adjustment happens when INPS corrects a previous payment, either adding or removing money.
Because of these deductions and adjustments, some pensioners may notice a lower payment in November.
The exact reasons for each deduction or adjustment can vary from person to person.
INPS regularly updates its payment calendar so that pensioners can plan their finances.
Millions of people across Italy depend on these monthly payments as their main source of income.
The 2026 calendar is expected to help pensioners understand when to expect their money each month.
Officials have not given further details beyond confirming the calendar and the November payslip information.
