Delaware

Lead generation for financial advisors in Delaware.

Delaware has 229,028 residents aged 65 and over, 21.8% of the state and the 5th highest share of any state. An older population that concentrated puts pension exclusions, property tax credits and residency rules near the top of the planning agenda.

From age 60, Delaware's pension exclusion also covers dividends, interest and capital gains, while its senior school tax credit carries a 10 year domicile test for anyone who moved in after 2017, which matters for people relocating in retirement.

Market knowledge

What Delaware pre-retirees are actually asking about

The questions here are about what the pension exclusion covers and who qualifies for property tax relief. Verified against the Delaware Division of Revenue, the Delaware Code, the Department of Finance and the Delaware General Assembly on 2026-09-24.

Social Security is not taxed in Delaware

Social Security and Railroad Retirement benefits are not taxable in Delaware and are subtracted to the extent they are included in federal adjusted gross income. They do not count toward the separate pension exclusion, which is left for pensions, IRA withdrawals and investment income.

Up to $12,500 per person excluded from age 60

From age 60, each person can exclude up to $12,500 of pensions and eligible retirement income combined, which includes IRA and 401(k) distributions, dividends, interest, capital gains and net rental income from real property. Under age 60, the exclusion is limited to $2,000 of pension income.

Senior school tax credit, with a 10 year test

Homeowners 65 or over can receive a credit of 50% of regular school property taxes on a primary residence, up to $500. Anyone who established domicile in Delaware after December 31, 2017 must have been domiciled in the state for 10 consecutive years to qualify. Applications close April 30.

Some online guides quote a $25,000 pension exclusion. That figure comes from HB 108 of 2025, which was last recorded in the House Revenue and Finance Committee and was not enacted; the Delaware Code still sets $12,500.
