Pillar 3a in Schnottwil: compare and contribute wisely

Pillar 3a is private, tax-advantaged pension saving: every franc paid in (up to the annual maximum) is deducted from your taxable income, and the capital stays invested until retirement. In Schnottwil, two decisions count: how much you pay in — and with whom? A bank account, a securities solution or an insurance policy differ sharply in fees and returns.

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 Solothurn 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.
