Key points at a glance
Living in Eggersriet and thinking about pillar 3a? A smart move: tied pension 3a is the most tax-efficient way to save in Switzerland. Contributions up to the annual maximum lower your taxable income, while the capital builds up for retirement, home ownership or a permanent move abroad.
In Eggersriet (postal code 9034), a municipality of roughly 2’279 residents in the canton of St. Gallen, two decisions drive long-term success: how much you pay in (ideally the maximum) — and where. A 3a bank account (safe, low interest), a securities 3a (higher return potential) or an insurance 3a differ substantially in cost and return. Below are the essentials and a free comparison. Comparing several places to live (Untereggen (2 km), Rehetobel (3 km), Rorschacherberg (3 km))? The 3a maximum is set federally — only your municipal tax rate changes the effective saving.

Pillar 3a in Eggersriet: 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 Eggersriet 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 to 30 years, differences in fees and returns add up to five-figure amounts. So compare the type of solution (safe account vs. funds), the total costs and the flexibility (transfer, contribution rhythm). The effective tax saving depends on your marginal tax rate — that is, on your income, the canton of St. Gallen and your municipality. On withdrawal the capital is taxed separately at a reduced rate; several 3a accounts allow staggered withdrawals.
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.
