| Quote: | |  | | | Thanks for this. I just used the calculator and got the bad news  after filling in details for myself and my wife. It's given me estimates for:
- First pension: commences the month after my 65th birthday and continues until the month of my wife's 64th birthday, when it is replaced by:
- Second pension: commences the month after my wife's 64th birthday, with one pension for me and one for her, but both pensions are capped because "the sum of two individual pensions of a couple may not exceed 150% of the maximum individual pension". WTF??!?! I mean, I knew about the income tax discrimination with regard to married couples, but pensions, as well? I don't see our pension contributions being capped...!
Does this mean that two people who do not marry, but live together, would receive their full, individual pensions for the rest of their lives while the married couple next door gets screwed? | | | | | Genau. And as we both work, we pay less tax than if we were married too  |

But at least I'll make it to that age -- it's been proven that married men are happier and live longer than their single brethren.  | | This user would like to thank 22 yards for this useful post: | |

| Quote: | | | | | Hi,
I have a question regarding pension please.
How much would approximately a married person who worked in Switzerland for 25 years before retiring with a salary of 6000 CHF/month get as a pension /month ?
How much extra can I pay in the second pillar so I can increase my pension ?
Thank you.
With kind regards | | | | | Don't worry about that. The pension system is in the collapsing phase and will be broke in a few years

That is when the H-part of the AHV comes into play and inheritance tax (save canton SZ) makes a big impact. Also consider the difference when there is no will.
