Pension calculator for tied private pension provision under pillar 3a

Pillar 3a – the tied private pension

Payments into the tied 3a pension can be deducted from taxable income – up to the maximum amounts set by the government (2021: CHF 6,883 or 34,416 with or without a connection to a pension fund respectively). The pillar 3a can therefore be a very interesting tool for long-term pensions on occasion. With a few exceptions regulated by law (e.g. for buying a house or if someone moves abroad), the capital is however tied until five years before reaching retirement age and cannot be used beforehand for a trip around the world or to buy a new car, etc. Banks and insurance companies both offer 3a pension products.

You determine when and how much you pay into your pillar 3a (retirement savings account or securities). You can pay into the pillar 3a for up to five years after reaching retirement age. The maximum tax-exempt amount that can be paid into the pillar 3a is adjusted on an annual basis. Payments into the pillar 3a reduce taxable income. Doing this allows you to save on taxes with the pillar 3a .
