Prepare your early retirement

Choose the best option for your needs by considering different scenarios.

Early retirement - step by step


"Many people are already on the home stretch when they realize that their assets are not keeping pace with their retirement plans."

 

Planning for retirement is crucial, especially if your goal is early retirement or partial retirement. Either way, these three expert tips provide some valuable guidance for entering the next phase of your life well-prepared.

Develop a withdrawal strategy


When you retire, you can no longer rely on earned income to cover your expenses. In other words: You need to have solid retirement plans in place. But it is not just about how much wealth and retirement capital you have accumulated – how you withdraw it is just as important. Would you like to understand how different forms of withdrawal will impact your tax obligations for the rest of your life?

"Retirement doesn’t have to be an abrupt transition from working full-time to doing nothing. You can take a gradual approach, whether by dropping down to working part-time or reducing your hours step by step."

Partial retirement or working part-time

By reducing your working hours – with or without drawing retirement benefits – you can continue to earn an income, contribute to your retirement savings and remain either partially or fully insured with your pension fund. This gives you more flexibility to access your retirement savings, and it also offers potential tax benefits. It is important to note that the corresponding options may vary depending on the pension fund, your employer or the tax situation in your canton.
