Pillar 3a – save taxes, secure your future

Restricted pension is one of the most effective tax optimization instruments in Switzerland.

Pillar 3a is the restricted pension of Switzerland's third pillar. Contributions are fully deductible from taxable income, making it one of the most powerful tax optimization instruments available. Solidwave helps you choose the right solution between bank savings and insurance.

Maximum contribution 2026

Employed persons with a pension fund can contribute CHF 7,258 per year. Self-employed persons without a pension fund can contribute up to CHF 36,288, capped at 20% of net income.

Bank savings vs. insurance solution

Bank savings offer flexibility and lower costs. Insurance solutions combine savings with risk coverage for death or disability – but with a longer commitment period.

Withdrawal earliest 5 years before retirement age

The assets are locked until withdrawal. Early access is only possible in specific cases: home ownership, self-employment, emigration, or five years before the statutory retirement age.

Splitting across multiple accounts

By distributing funds across multiple 3a accounts, you can significantly reduce your tax burden through staggered withdrawals. We plan the optimal account structure for you.
