¹Pensionable salary is the last known annual salary subject to AHV (OASI) contributions, minus the coordination offset (equal to CHF 26,460 in 2025). The last known annual salary subject to AHV (OASI) contributions includes actual commissions, regular bonuses, car allowance, and other pay elements subject to AHV contributions. For the 1st year of employment, On Target Earnings (OTE) is used for pension contributions. OTE is defined as base salary + target commissions and/or regular/quarterly bonus, but excludes monthly car allowance and other allowances. Remuneration paid only occasionally is not included, such as one-off, irregular, or unforeseeable bonuses/gratuities.

Databricks contributes 50% of the total pension contribution. The employee contributes the other 50%.
