The amount of disability pension varies by country and specific program. For example:
- In Australia, the base Disability Support Pension (DSP) rate for a single adult in 2025 is $1051.30 per fortnight. With supplements, this can increase to about $1149.00. There is a scheduled increase on 20 September 2025 expected to raise the amount to around $1178.70 per fortnight for singles. Couples receive lower rates per person but a combined total (e.g., about $866.10 each or $1732.20 combined).
- In Iceland, the disability pension is about 396,340 ISK per month (around 4,756,080 ISK per year), with additional home and age supplements for eligible pensioners.
- In Switzerland, disability pensions depend on the degree of disability and pensionable salary. For full disability, the pension is around 60% of the pensionable salary. Partial pensions apply depending on the assessed disability percentage (e.g., 40% disability grants 25% of a full pension).
The exact amount depends greatly on local rules, eligibility, degree of disability, and other factors such as income and asset tests. If you specify which country or program is of interest, more precise details can be provided.
