Enrollment and Contribution Change Deadlines

It is important to note that the contribution modification process might take some time, which means that while you can open an account at any time, contributions and changes to contributions might not start until the following month. Important cut-off dates include:

  • Contributions elected by the 5th will take effect on the 30th paycheck of the current month.
  • Contributions elected by the 15th will take effect on the 15th paycheck of the following month.

Tax Advantages

Contributions you make toward the pension plan may be treated favorably for tax purposes under Costa Rican regulations. In many cases:

  • Pension contributions are exempt from certain social charges up to defined limits.
  • Retirement income from mandatory and voluntary plans is generally not subject to Social Security charges.

By contributing early and consistently, you can reduce your taxable income today and enjoy the potential for accumulated savings growth over your career.
