Yes, soldiers need to pay old-age insurance.

Old-age insurance is a social security system, which aims to provide certain old-age security for retired soldiers. Soldiers need to pay old-age insurance premiums according to regulations during their service in the army, so that they can enjoy old-age insurance benefits after retirement. Specifically, soldiers need to provide basic personal information and proof of joining the army to participate in the old-age insurance, and pay the old-age insurance premium according to the prescribed payment standard and payment period. After retiring, soldiers can enjoy pension insurance benefits in accordance with the prescribed collection methods and standards.

It should be noted that the old-age insurance premiums paid during military service are not counted as continuous payment years. After retirement, you need to start paying old-age insurance premiums again, but you can enjoy certain preferential policies. In addition, there are differences in pension insurance systems in different countries and regions, and specific policies need to refer to relevant local regulations.

There are many types of old-age insurance, including basic old-age insurance for enterprise employees, basic old-age insurance for urban and rural residents, and basic old-age insurance for government agencies and institutions. Different types of endowment insurance have differences in payment methods and treatment enjoyment.

In China, the payment methods of endowment insurance usually include monthly payment and one-time payment. Monthly payment means that the employer pays the old-age insurance premium for employees on a monthly basis according to the payment base and proportion stipulated by the state. One-time payment means that when employees reach retirement age, they pay all the old-age insurance premiums in one lump sum and enjoy the corresponding old-age insurance benefits.

Pension insurance benefits include basic pension and personal account pension. Basic pension refers to the basic living security funds paid by the state or local government to eligible elderly people to meet their basic living needs. Personal account pension refers to the pension benefits calculated according to the balance of personal account and the payment period when an individual reaches retirement age after paying the old-age insurance premium.

In a word, endowment insurance is an important social security system, which aims to provide economic support for the elderly and help them spend their old age. Different types of old-age insurance have differences in payment methods and treatment enjoyment, so they need to choose and pay according to their own conditions.
