Whether you work as a TNS (Non-Salaried Worker), auto-entrepreneur, or business owner, it is essential to understand the new provisions to calmly anticipate your future retirement. At Allianz Bergerac Lalinde - VIGEANT & MERCHADOU EI, we know how much these changes can raise questions and sometimes concerns. Our team supports you step by step to clarify your situation, identify the best solutions, and secure your future. ## Understanding the 2026 retirement reform: stakes and major changes The retirement reform that came into effect in 2026 aims to simplify existing regimes and strengthen equity among different professional statuses. For self-employed workers, this means new parameters to integrate into their social protection strategy. The legal retirement age, the duration of contributions, and the method of calculating pensions are evolving, with a direct impact on the retirement planning of artisans, merchants, and liberal professions. The government's stated goal: to ensure the sustainability of the system while ensuring an adequate pension level, as detailed on the [service-public.fr](https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/actualites/A16879) website. It is therefore crucial to assess your individual situation. The diversity of professional paths in the Bergerac and Lalinde region requires a tailored approach to maximize your rights and optimize your retirement savings strategy. ## What impacts for self-employed workers? Self-employed workers are particularly affected by the reform, with specificities inherent to their regime. From now on, the calculation of the pension takes more into account your entire career, and the notion of "best years" is revised to promote harmonization between employees and non-employees. The reform also provides for a gradual revaluation of small pensions for long or incomplete careers, which represents a significant advance for many local artisans and TNS. However, these measures require particular attention to your contribution path. Periods of interruption of activity or illness can now be better taken into account, but it remains crucial to verify the completeness of your career statements. To assist you in this process, our agency offers personalized retirement assessments, simply, in the agency or remotely via your [Allianz Bergerac Lalinde client space](https://agence.allianz.fr/bergerac-lalinde-24150-H92402). ## Retirement of auto-entrepreneurs and TNS: securing your future As an auto-entrepreneur or non-salaried worker, you often have to deal with variable income, which complicates the establishment of a solid retirement. The retirement reform encourages the establishment of individual savings to supplement the mandatory regime. The retirement insurance and savings solutions offered by Allianz Bergerac Lalinde adapt to the diversity of your needs and your budget, allowing you to prepare your future progressively and securely. With our [personalized retirement savings solutions](https://agence.allianz.fr/bergerac-lalinde-24150-H92402), you can adjust your contributions, benefit from tax advantages, and enjoy dedicated support to optimize your investments. Our advisors are here to explain life insurance options, retirement supplements, and prevention, so you can make informed choices. ## Social protection: guaranteeing the essentials for your activity The retirement reform also highlights the importance of adapted social protection. Beyond retirement, prevention coverage (work stoppage, disability, death) remains essential to secure the continuity of your activity and protect your loved ones. Too often underestimated, it constitutes an indispensable foundation, especially for professionals exposed to specific risks or working in demanding sectors. At Allianz Bergerac Lalinde, we offer [customized professional multi-risk insurance](https://agence.allianz.fr/bergerac-lalinde-24150-H92402) and prevention contracts designed to meet the daily challenges of the self-employed. We help you assess your real needs, simplify procedures, and prioritize optimal quality-price ratios, so that every euro invested translates into peace of mind. ## How to optimize your retirement? The advice from your Allianz agency To navigate this transition period smoothly, it is advisable to act today on several levers: - Conduct a regular review of your retirement rights, checking the inclusion of all your years of activity and any periods of unemployment or leave. - Supplement your future income with flexible retirement savings, tailored to your situation and personal goals. - Consider the portability and diversification of your savings supports (life insurance, PER, socially responsible investments). - Anticipate the uncertainties of professional life with solid prevention coverage, so that your loved ones are never left without a solution.
