All insured persons pay contributions.
All those who are insured with OASI are obliged to pay contributions, with the exception of children and individuals who have reached the official retirement age and have no earned income.
Married persons without any earned income are also obliged to pay contributions. However, their contribution is deemed to have been paid if their employed spouse pays at least double the minimum OASI contribution on his or her income.
The contributions of employees are deducted from every salary payment by the employer and transferred to the compensation office together with the employer's contribution.
The non-working persons' contributions are calculated based on the replacement income and assets.
Employers and employees each pay half of the OASI/DI/EO and ALV contributions. Both the contributions to the Family Allowances Office and the administration fee contributions are borne exclusively by the employers.

Non-working persons pay OASI, DI and EO contributions. The amount of the contributions is based on the assets and pension income. The minimum annual contribution for non-working persons is currently CHF 514.
The maximum contribution (from 1.1.2012) is 50 times the minimum contribution. Your own contributions will lapse if your spouse (or registered partner) is deemed to be employed (minimum 50%) within the meaning of OASI and pays contributions amounting to at least double the minimum contribution (CHF 1028).
