Estate Planning
Most of us don’t expect to die before our time, and certainly not without having everything in order for our loved ones.
Not having a will in place can create long-lasting problems for those we leave behind, particularly if your assets are spread over more than one country or jurisdiction.
Unfortunately, many people leave dependents behind without having made the proper arrangements, sometimes leaving debts or heavy taxes on their estate that could have been avoided.
To ensure your possessions are distributed as you wish, guardians established for your children, and to minimise the tax burden on your beneficiaries, it is critical to draft a will.
Make sure your family is cared for and your assets continue to provide for them long after you're gone.
By planning the events and asset allocation after your passing now, you can prevent unnecessary delays and avoid painful legal battles for your loved ones during an incredibly difficult time for them.
We can provide you guidance and advice on the most tax-efficient approaches to your estate to maximise your family’s inheritance when the time comes.
How much do you need to retire?
Using the retirement calculator below, you can find out whether you’re on track, over, or under for the retirement you want.
How to use this retirement calculator
- Enter your current age, income after taxes, current savings, and how much you save each month (after bills and expenses).
- Average return on savings = For example, assume 1% for cash, 5% for investments, or 3% if you have a mixture of both.
- Next, enter the amount of your current income you would like at retirement. For example, someone receiving CHF 10,000/month may want CHF 6,500 - or 65% - of their current income at retirement.
- Lastly, enter the number of 1st pillar contributions you will have made by retirement. For example, if you've paid 5 years' 1st pillar contributions until today, and expect to pay in for a further 20 years, enter 25 years. Based on the Swiss state pension.
Your targets
- Enter the age you would like to retire.
- Use the Age slider above to increase and decrease the age; when the bar chart showing 'You will have' and 'You will need' are the same, that is your expected age of retirement.
