Pension costs The number of staff and staff costs are seen as under control of the service provider pension contribution rate falls outside of service provider s control The statutory pension security in Finland consists of defined benefit earnings- related pension that accrues from work, as well as residence-based national pension and guarantee pension that ensure minimum security.

The unconrollable part of pension costs is calculated Difference in penstion contribution rate (det vs. act) x determined pensionable salary
