Calculate OASI Contributions
Calculate OASI/DI/IC contributions for employees and self-employed persons.
The OASI contribution calculator computes the OASI, DI, IC and UI contributions for employees and self-employed persons in Switzerland. It shows the split between employer and employee as well as the applicable contribution rate.
OASI contribution rates for employees and self-employed
For employees, contributions are shared equally between employer and employee:
- OASI: 8.7% (4.35% each)
- DI: 1.4% (0.7% each)
- IC: 0.5% (0.25% each)
- UI: 2.2% (1.1% each) up to CHF 148,200
Total: 12.8% on gross salary (6.4% employee share).
Self-employed persons bear the contributions alone. From CHF 58,800 income, the full rate of 10.0% (OASI + DI + IC) applies. At lower incomes, a declining scale applies. Self-employed persons are not subject to UI contributions. OASI contributions are part of the total payroll costs, which also include pension fund contributions.
OASI contributions and pension: What really counts
The OASI pension depends on two factors: contribution years and average annual income. The maximum pension (2025: CHF 2,520/month) is achieved with 44 contribution years and an average annual income of at least CHF 88,200. Each missing contribution year reduces the pension by approximately 1/44.
On the tax side: OASI contributions are automatically deducted from taxable income and thus reduce income tax.
