Key points at a glance

Comparing several places to live (Kiesen (1 km), Kirchdorf (2 km), Oppligen (2 km))? The 3a maximum is set federally — only your municipal tax rate changes the effective saving.

Pillar 3a in Jaberg: compare and contribute wisely
With pillar 3a you save twice over: contributions up to the maximum immediately lower your tax bill, and the balance grows long term for retirement. What matters in Jaberg is the size of the contribution and the choice of provider — between a safe 3a account, a return-oriented securities solution and a 3a insurance policy, the gap in cost and yield is wide.
Over 20–30 years, costs and returns decide tens of thousands of francs. So check the solution type (account or securities), the fees and the flexibility (transferability, free contributions). How much tax you save is set by your marginal rate — depending on income, the canton of Bern and your municipality. Withdrawals attract a reduced special rate; running several 3a accounts lets you stagger withdrawals and optimise further.
Hallmarks of a good 3a solution
- Low total costs (management fee plus fund costs / TER).
- Equity share suited to your investment horizon until retirement.
- Flexible contributions and free transfer to another provider.
- Withdrawal planning: several accounts for staggered, tax-efficient withdrawals.
