Do you need a ridiculous amount of money to retire in Switzerland?

It’s stangely difficult to get statistics on the median (not average) gross (not disposable after tax) income of households so I can’t really compare it on a broad, national basis not taking account of a specific situation but that’s still more than monks need for their lifestyle.

See this thread here, the table comes from OASI data

Salaries in Switzerland

AHV did an analysis on request of NZZ, so for the first time we have the actual percentile data (for 2021) based on all employees in Switzerland (analysis excludes self-employed people): [Income percentiles] 99.99 is not precisely published, but there were exactly 535 people earning more than CHF 3 Million. Income is the AHV income, which is basically the gross income including everything at the time of the payout.
