Contribution rates
The contribution rate of the voluntary OASI/DI scheme is set by the Swiss Compensation Office.
Calculation of the voluntary OASI/DI contribution
The contribution is calculated on the basis of your professional situation abroad and the voluntary OASI/DI contribution tables (in French).
The minimum contribution is CHF 1'060.50/year (including administrative costs of 5%).
You are professionally employed abroad
- You are employed: your contribution is 10.1% of the gross income + 5% administrative costs
- You are self-employed: your contribution is 10.1% of the net profit + 5% administrative costs
If your company is a public limited company (PLC/Ltd) or a limited liability company (LLC), your voluntary OASI/DI contributions will be calculated on the basis of your salary.
Calculation example (1)
You are in employment/self-employed and your wages are/annual income is CHF 100'000.
The annual gross income/net profit in foreign currencies is converted into Swiss francs according to the average annual exchange rate.
A comparative calculation between the income and assets must be done if you
- work for less than nine months of the year
- work less than 50% of the time
You are not professionally employed abroad
- You are single:
Your contribution is calculated on the assets and income acquired in the form of a pension. - You are married:
Your contribution is calculated on half of the assets and half of the income acquired in the form of pension.
You are insured but exempt from paying any contributions if your spouse is insured under the OASI/DI scheme and pays at least double the minimum contribution as a professionally active person.
Calculation example (2)
- Your couple’s assets total CHF 640'000
- Your spouse works and earns an annual salary of CHF 61'400
