Formula: months × (monthly gross) × 9.3%
Simplified rules: EU/EEA citizens and most UK cases are generally not eligible for a refund. You also can’t get a refund while living in the EU/EEA/UK. This tool assumes eligibility only for Non‑EU/EEA nationals living outside those areas, with less than 60 months of contributions. We ignore monthly income caps and the 24‑month waiting period for simplicity.
