The Moroccan Plan d'Épargne Entreprise (PEE) is an employer-sponsored savings plan combining employee contributions, employer matching (abondement), and a tax exemption after 5 years. It is one of the most advantageous employee benefits in Morocco — the employer match is effectively free capital that boosts your real return significantly.
Both become tax-exempt after 5 years, but the PEE has a critical advantage: the employer matching contribution. If your employer offers a PEE with matching, it is almost always the best first savings vehicle — use the full matching before contributing anywhere else. The PEA is better for employees whose company doesn't offer a PEE, or for contributions beyond the PEE ceiling. Compare both in our comparator.
The Plan d'Épargne Entreprise (PEE) is exclusively for employees whose employer has signed a collective plan agreement. Its main advantage is the employer top-up (abondement): your company matches your personal contributions (often 50%–100% up to a cap), providing an immediate financial return with no equivalent elsewhere. An employee benefiting from a 100% top-up effectively doubles their savings from the very first contribution.
Joining a PEE is only possible through your employer — you cannot open one individually. Ask your HR department or payroll manager whether your company has a PEE agreement in place. If not, a plan can be set up via an AMMC-licensed asset manager in consultation with management. If you leave the company before 5 years, the vested funds remain locked until maturity or may be unlocked early under specific legal conditions (marriage, birth, disability, etc.).
Illustrative scenario computed with our simulator: 50,000 MAD initial capital, 500 MAD monthly contribution, indicative annual return of 5% / yr, taxation 20% → tax-free after 5 yrs (2026 Finance Act). Indicative figures — past performance does not guarantee future results. The tax advantage is decisive: from year 5 onward, gains become fully tax-exempt — hence the estimated 0 MAD tax beyond that threshold in the table.
| Horizon | Total invested | Gross capital | Estimated tax | Net-of-tax capital | Net gain |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 yr | 56 000 MAD | 58 698 MAD | 540 MAD | 58 158 MAD | +2 158 MAD |
| 3 yrs | 68 000 MAD | 77 450 MAD | 1 890 MAD | 75 560 MAD | +7 560 MAD |
| 5 yrs | 80 000 MAD | 98 171 MAD | 0 MAD | 98 171 MAD | +18 171 MAD |
| 10 yrs | 110 000 MAD | 159 992 MAD | 0 MAD | 159 992 MAD | +49 992 MAD |
| 15 yrs | 140 000 MAD | 239 330 MAD | 0 MAD | 239 330 MAD | +99 330 MAD |
| 20 yrs | 170 000 MAD | 341 149 MAD | 0 MAD | 341 149 MAD | +171 149 MAD |
Over 20 years, a saver who set aside 170 000 MAD in total would build net-of-tax capital of 341 149 MAD — a 2.01× multiple of cumulative savings.
For the same savings effort (50,000 MAD + 500 MAD/mo), here is the estimated net-of-tax capital under the 2026 Finance Act:
| Product | Indicative rate | Tax (2026) | After 5 yrs | After 10 yrs | After 20 yrs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PEE | 5% / yr | 20% → tax-free after 5 yrs | 98 171 MAD | 159 992 MAD | 341 149 MAD |
| Term deposit | 3% / yr | 30% withheld | 87 283 MAD | 129 137 MAD | 229 632 MAD |
| Equity fund | 7% / yr | 11.25% div + 15% gains | 102 976 MAD | 176 338 MAD | 421 830 MAD |
Over 20 years, PEE produces 1.43× the net capital of Term deposit (341 149 MAD vs 229 632 MAD) in this scenario. Adjust these inputs to your profile with our savings comparator.
