Information about the voluntary contribution plans and the voluntary purchase

Change of pension plan effective January 1st, 2027 and voluntary purchase to the pension fund

From August 1st through November 30th, you have the opportunity to review your contribution plan and adjust it if necessary. You can easily make the change yourself in the Pension Cockpit.

During this period, you can:

  • enroll in the Medium plan (+2%),
  • enroll in the Top plan (+4%), or
  • switch back to the Standard plan.

Overview of the Voluntary Contribution Plans

  • Standard Plan: No additional savings contributions.
  • Medium  Plan: Additional savings contributions of 2%, fully funded by the employee.
  • Top Plan: Additional savings contributions of 4%, also fully funded by the employee.

With an voluntary contribution plan, you increase your personal savings contributions and, consequently, your retirement savings.

Further information and details on the procedure can be found in the information letter below.
