Swiss 3a & 2nd Pillar Tax Savings Calculator

Desk with calculator and December 31st circled on calendar overlooking Swiss Alps — symbolizing Swiss 3a and 2nd Pillar year-end tax savings planning.

Calculate how much tax you can save

Turn guesswork into clarity. This free, fast calculator shows you in seconds how much tax you could save with Swiss 2nd-pillar buybacks and 3a contributions, what your true net cost after tax is, and how today’s contribution could grow to retirement.

It also estimates your after withdrawal-tax value, highlights the blended effective relief rate, and even compares what you’d need to invest after tax to match the same outcome. Choose your canton to prefill a typical marginal rate (or override it if you know yours), tweak a few inputs, and watch the numbers update instantly. It’s a practical way to test “what-ifs” before you commit, helping you optimise contributions, plan cash flow, and make smarter year-end decisions.
