You are professionally employed abroad
You are not professionally employed abroad

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

You are in employment/self-employed and your wages are/annual income is CHF 100'000.

Annual OASI/DI contribution (10,1 % of CHF 100'000)	CHF	10'100
Administration fee (5% of CHF 10'100)	CHF	505
Total amount due	CHF	10'605

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

Your couple’s assets total CHF 640'000
Your spouse works and earns an annual salary of CHF 61'400
