Bus/Financial - Insurance
Dutch term or phrase: bijspaarruimte/fiscaal bijspaarruimte
The above terms occur in the document dealing with pension funds. A sample sentence is given below:
"Het berekenen van de bijspaarpremie vindt plaats als de bijspaarruimte of het percentage/bedrag bijspaarruimte op het scherm wordt gewijzigd.
Het bepalen van het fiscaal maximum bijspaarruimte vindt plaats als volgt:"
I have found that 'bijspaar' roughly translates into 'additional contribution', but when the term 'ruimte is added I am not sure about the literal translation as 'space'. There must be a better translation of the whole term in the context of the subject involved.

Any suitable suggestion is most welcome.

Explanation:
Bijsparen can be translated with "to make additional (voluntary) contributions".

bijspaarpremie = additional (voluntary) contribution (another possibility: additional savings (see link)
bijsspaarruimte = contribution limit
maximale bijspaarruimte = maximum contribution limit

Example sentence(s):
  • Employees are then able to make Additional Voluntary Contributions (AVCs) at any level up to the Inland Revenue defined maximum. (see link 1)
  • This route allows clients to boost their retirement benefits by making additional contributions, alongside but separate from their company pension scheme. (see link 2)
