In most places, tax funded state pensions are a fixed amount per week.
Your tax money isn't put into a special pot just to be paid back to you and you alone. Your money goes into a giant pot along with everyone else's and every pensioner gets paid a similar amount from it.
This is a small safety net for those on the poorer end of society. They probably have not contributed much to the pot but they get a payout from it from retirement age until death.
Short of knowing when they are going to die, how would somebody know how much to save to be able to pay themselves that much each week?
There's nothing here!
