By the date, 1. 1. 2019 mini-reform of old-age pension system was made by the present government coalition. This should help with further growth of redistribution income of old-age pension system and decrease an inequal distribution of old age pension income. According to the current government coalition and ruling parties, mini-reform should be a social guarantee of more equal charge of pension income. This should concern every person that is receiving old-age pension income. For that reason, the main purpose of this paper is to find out the real impact of mini-reform on amount of higher and lower old-age pension income. Four different types of methods are used in the paper for the assessed purpose. We are able to determinate the impact of mini-reform and estimate the range of achievement that has been set up by the government by these techniques. Gini coefficient, Lorenz curve that works asa graphical representation of Gini coefficient results, Robin Hood index and last but not least most basic method that measures unevenness of pension distribution – method of inequality scale. By using these techniques we are able to say if the results fulfill the goal and that redistribution in Czech pension system was increased. At the end of the analytical section,the changes in old-age pension incomes of poorer and richer are compared. We are able to state that faster increase of old-age pension income of poorer has been achieved so the government accomplished set goal.
