As of January 2017, the contribution rate of active and retired CHIS members will be 4.86%. The amounts of the fixed premiums for voluntarily insured members (e.g. users and other associates), as well as the supplementary contributions for spouses with income from a professional activity or with a retirement pension (including a CERN pension), are thus as follows:

1. Voluntary contributions

The full contribution based on Reference Salary II is 1215 CHF per month. This fixed amount contribution is applied to voluntarily affiliated users and associates with normal coverage. Half of this amount, 607 CHF, is applied to voluntarily affiliated users and associates with reduced coverage. Finally, an amount of 486 CHF is applied to children maintaining their insurance cover on a voluntary and temporarily basis.

2. Supplementary contributions

The supplementary contribution for the spouse or registered partner of a staff member, fellow or pensioner is now as follows, depending on the spouse’s monthly income:

• up to and including 2 500 CHF: none
