Hi, I really love working for you. I ran my full pension numbers with Clino's calculator (AHV + occupational pension): if I stay as I am today, I'd get CHF 174/mo in retirement, if I'm officially registered until 65, it's CHF 1'368/mo. It's simple: Clino prepares the contract, the registration and the payslips for CHF 19.90/mo. Shall we look at it? https://clino.ch/en/pension-planner

Do you employ someone?

With these numbers she gets CHF 174 a month at 65 if nothing more is paid in from today, and CHF 1'368 if she stays registered until 65. Every registered year counts for her AHV and her pension fund.

Frequently asked questions about your full pension

What's the difference between the 1st and 2nd pillar?▾

The 1st pillar (AHV) is the state base pension for everyone. The 2nd pillar (occupational pension/BVG) is your employer's occupational scheme on top of AHV. Together they aim to replace about 60% of your last wage.

From when am I subject to BVG as a household employee?▾

When one employer pays you more than CHF 22,680 a year (2026). Retirement saving starts at 25. The duty is per employer: several small wages added together don't trigger it. That's why many part-time cleaners have no 2nd pillar, though it's still possible voluntarily.

How is my AHV pension calculated if I earn little?▾

The AHV pension depends on your average annual income and contribution years. Not just your last wage. With low income you land closer to the minimum pension, not the maximum.

Do years spent raising children count for AHV?▾

Yes. For each year with a child under 16, you get a child-rearing credit that raises your average income for the pension calculation.
