Retirement planning: prepare early to maintain your standard of living

Retirement is prepared well before the statutory age. Understanding your three pillars and filling your gaps in time makes all the difference to your future income.

Retirement planning: prepare early to maintain your standard of living

The three pillars in brief

On their own, the 1st and 2nd pillars rarely cover more than 60% of your final salary. The 3rd pillar and buy-backs serve to fill this gap.

The earlier you start, the lighter the savings effort. A few years can sometimes noticeably change your retirement income.

Our support

We produce a clear pension review: what you'll receive, the gap with your current standard of living, and the concrete levers (3rd pillar, LPP buy-backs) to close it.

When should you start?

As early as possible, but it's never too late. Even ten years from retirement, well-managed buy-backs and a 3rd pillar have a real impact.

The replacement rate, your key indicator

At retirement, the AVS and LPP together generally cover about 60% of your final salary. To maintain your standard of living, you therefore need to fill a gap that can amount to several hundred francs a month. The higher your income, the wider this gap, because the AVS is capped.

Three levers to close the gap

A pension review quantifies your future income and the savings effort needed, year after year. It's the starting point of any effective strategy.

Is it better to take a pension or a lump sum?

It depends on your situation: the pension offers lifelong security, the lump sum flexibility and the ability to pass it on. A mixed approach is often wisest; we calculate the optimal balance.

Clear advice, no obligation

We analyse your situation and guide you to the best decision.
