Non-mandatory benefits – these are benefits provided by a pension fund that exceed the statutory minimum occupational benefits. While the mandatory thus comprises the mandatory BVG benefits, the extra-mandatory benefits are an extra.

But before you start celebrating: the pension fund doesn’t just do that. If it offers extra-mandatory benefits, it also charges contributions. Contributions for extra-mandatory benefits are charged on the portion of your income that exceeds the BVG upper limit. Currently (as of 2020), this upper limit is CHF 85,320 per year.
