What is the refund?
On departure from Germany, non-EU citizens can reclaim their employee share (9.3 % of gross salary) from the statutory pension system. The Deutsche Rentenversicherung pays this lump sum after a mandatory 24-month waiting period.

Within ±5 % of the official Rentenversicherung decision in most cases. Variations come from year-specific contribution ceilings, the difference between East and West rates (until 2024), and credited months from sick leave or parental allowance.
