Your pension fund certificate in a nutshell

Are there are gaps in your retirement provision? And how high are the expected benefits in the event of early retirement or disability? Now the once-a-year moment has come: you receive your pension fund certificate and get the answers to all these questions and more.

Key points at a glance

You should always take note of the following details: 

• Annual salary and insured salary: your annual salary is reported by your employer and corresponds to the OASI gross salary on your salary slip. The insured salary is calculated by deducting a specific amount (the coordination deduction) from your annual salary.
  
• Performance of retirement assets: the retirement assets refer to the amount you have saved in your pension fund up to a specific date. The performance of your retirement assets tells you about changes in the last year.
• Retirement capital/retirement pension: your predicted retirement capital and the corresponding annual retirement pension are projected with an interest rate. This is an estimate by experts of how much interest can be expected in future. It is therefore not the definitive pension, but a provisional calculation.
• Benefits in the event of disability and death: the maximum annual benefit you can expect in the event of disability or death.
• Potential purchase: you can purchase benefits to fill gaps for insufficient contribution years. Purchasing benefits for early retirement is possible only once the possibilities of purchasing contribution years have been exhausted.
