Explanation
บำนาญ is an institutional term for regular benefits received after a person retires following long service. It is especially common when discussing pensions for government employees, but it can also refer more broadly to retirement pensions. เงินบำนาญ is often used when explicitly referring to the money paid. Common patterns include ได้รับบำนาญ, “receive a pension,” and จ่ายบำนาญ, “pay a pension.”
Usage
It is commonly used when discussing income after retirement, eligibility for pension benefits, and financial planning for later life. It also appears frequently in government documents, news reports, and financial information.
Caution
บำนาญ does not mean “to retire”; use เกษียณ or เกษียณอายุ for retiring from work. Also distinguish it from บำเหน็จ, which usually means a lump-sum retirement payment, while บำนาญ is paid periodically.
