The 3rd pillar, a major asset for your future quality of life

The amount of the 1st and 2nd pillars that you will receive on retirement will represent on average 60% of your last salary before retirement. The 3rd pillar is a voluntary, individual savings plan designed for the long term to provide you with additional income at the end of your professional life.

It can also be used to finance other projects, but at this point, we need to differentiate between 3rd pillar A and 3rd pillar B:

3rd pillar A

It can be withdrawn no earlier than 5 years before retirement, or earlier in certain specific cases, notably:

  • purchase of a main residence
  • a change in career direction (becoming self-employed or changing self-employment field)
  • definitive departure from Switzerland
  • any other event provided for by law

3rd pillar B

It may be withdrawn at any time and unconditionally.

What are the tax advantages?

The tax advantage you can benefit from depends on a number of criteria: the amount of your 3rd pillar A contribution, the amount of your annual taxable income, your canton of residence, etc.

To benefit, we recommend that you make your payment before 15 December this year, to ensure that it is taken into account for the current year. Payments into your 3rd pillar A are deductible from your taxable income, up to a certain limit**.

In 2023, the ceilings for 3rd pillar A are defined as follows:

As an employee

You can contribute up to CHF 7,056 and deduct it from your income.

As a self-employed person

You can deduct up to CHF 35,280 (up to 20% of your net annual income).
