Key points at a glance
This page is for residents of Subingen who want to understand, compare or open a pillar 3a — Switzerland's most tax-efficient private pension. Every contribution (up to the annual maximum) reduces your taxable income, and the capital grows for retirement, buying a home or leaving the country.
In Subingen (postal code 4553), a municipality of roughly 3’201 residents in the canton of Solothurn, 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 (Horriwil (2 km), Derendingen (2 km), Oekingen (2 km))? The 3a maximum is set federally — only your municipal tax rate changes the effective saving.

Pillar 3a in Subingen: 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 Subingen, 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.
