You can request to receive your pension from Tryggingastofnun once a year. You will then stop receiving monthly payments from TR, but instead the entitlements are calculated when a certified tax return is available and are paid out in one lump sum a year later.
The annual pension lump sum is a deferred payment, so the current year's payments are paid out in June of the following year.
This arrangement could be suitable for those with variable income throughout the year or those who receive their main income from other sources than TR, for example from pension funds.
By getting paid once a year, you get exactly what you are entitled to based on your income.
