Totalization of contributions
Combine your contributions from different countries and access your pension smoothly
What is the totalization of contributions?
The totalization of contributions is a process that allows you to bring your contributions to Spain, adding up the contribution periods made in different countries with which there are bilateral or multilateral Social Security agreements. This makes it easier for workers who have developed their careers in more than one country to access benefits such as retirement, disability or survivors’ benefits, taking into account all the years worked abroad.
Agreement countries

- Mexico
