Does the findependent app show me how much I am still allowed to pay into pillar 3a in the current year?

Yes, the app transparently shows you how many Swiss francs you have already paid in this year and how much you are still allowed to pay in until the legal maximum amount is reached. 

If you accidentally pay in too much, we will notice it. We will automatically send the difference exceeding the annual maximum back to you. 

But heads up: If you’ve already made deposits with other retirement savings foundations in the same year, the app obviously won’t know about them. Simply add those amounts yourself so you don’t accidentally shoot past the maximum at the end. 

An important note for the end of the year: Please make your deposits for the current year by December 28th at the latest. This allows us to guarantee that the deposit is credited in the current year and that you can deduct it from your taxes as usual.
