up to −60%

In retirement, your income is often only a fraction of your final salary.

In many cases the 1st and 2nd pillars cover only about 40% of your final salary, a drop of up to 60%. The 3rd pillar closes that gap, and it is the most accessible tax lever available.

The good news: every franc paid into your 3rd pillar reduces your taxable income.

The income gap

Without a 3rd pillar, your standard of living drops mechanically at retirement.

Tax paid unnecessarily

A large share of working people are unaware of the real tax saving the 3rd pillar offers.

Time working for you

The earlier you start, the more your capital grows over the years.

The pension gap at a glance

In retirement, the state pension and your pension fund together aim to cover about 60 % of your final salary, often less for higher incomes. That leaves a gap of roughly 40 % which the 3e pillar is designed to close.

Why open a 3rd pillar

Three good reasons to act now

The 3rd pillar is more than retirement savings: it is a tax, wealth and protection tool.

View of Geneva and Lake Geneva

You pay less tax

Every contribution is deductible from your taxable income. The saving is immediate, from your next tax return.

Business owner facing Lake Geneva

You build your retirement

You build capital that tops up the 1st and 2nd pillars, as a pension, a lump sum, or both.

Family above Lake Geneva

You protect yourself and your family

Depending on the solution, the 3rd pillar covers death and incapacity for work: security for your family.

Why now?

Your first years of saving count double

Tailored to your situation, the 3rd pillar combines a tax benefit with long-term capital growth.

The right timing

Start early, gain more

Starting at 30 rather than 40 can mean nearly CHF 80,000 more at retirement.

The tax saving

Cut your tax from 2026

Every franc paid in is deducted from taxable income, up to CHF 7,258 per year.

The property project

Build your down payment

The 3rd pillar can help finance the purchase of your main home, or be pledged as security.

Cross-border workers

An often overlooked lever

Taxed at source in Switzerland, you can, under certain conditions, deduct your 3rd pillar contributions from your taxes. A good way to prepare for the future while lowering your tax bill. See the cross-border guide →

Protecting what matters

Your pension also protects your family

Depending on the solution chosen, the 3e pillar covers death and incapacity for work. Your family keeps its standard of living, whatever happens.

We answer your questions

Everything about the 3rd pillar

3rd pillar A : up to CHF 7,258/year if you are an employee affiliated to a pension fund; up to CHF 36,288 (20% of income) for a self-employed person with no 2nd pillar.

3rd pillar B : no federal limit, but a deduction is only possible in the cantons of Geneva and Fribourg. In Geneva, up to CHF 2,324/year, or up to CHF 4,434 for a married couple.
3rd pillar A : it is tied to your occupational pension (LPP). It is capped at CHF 7,258/year for employees affiliated to a pension fund; for the self-employed without a 2nd pillar, up to 20% of net income.

3rd pillar B : it is more flexible: there is no contribution limit, but it is only tax-deductible in Geneva and Fribourg. The capital is not taxed on withdrawal, but it is subject to wealth tax during the contract.
It depends on your status. If you are taxed at source in Switzerland with quasi-resident status (≥ 90% of income earned in Switzerland), the 3rd pillar can be deducted through a request for subsequent ordinary taxation.
3rd pillar A : it can be withdrawn at retirement or, at the earliest, 5 years before the statutory retirement age (so from age 60). It can also be released early for buying a home, leaving Switzerland permanently, or becoming self-employed.

3rd pillar B : it is available at any time, with no conditions.
3rd pillar A : the capital is locked until age 60, with exceptions: financing your main home (down payment, renovation or debt repayment), permanently leaving Switzerland, becoming self-employed, or disability.

3rd pillar B : no lock-in. You can withdraw at any time, with no conditions.
Yes, subject to the conditions in your contract. It is often possible to increase, reduce or temporarily suspend your contributions, depending on how your situation changes.
