FAQ
How is net salary calculated in Switzerland?
Net salary in Switzerland is calculated by deducting mandatory social contributions (AVS/AI/APG at 5.3%, AC at 1.1%, AANP around 1.5%, and LPP varying by age) and taxes (federal and cantonal/municipal) from the gross salary.
Which are the lowest-taxed cantons in Switzerland?
The cantons with the most advantageous taxation are generally Zug (ZG), Schwyz (SZ), Nidwalden (NW), Obwalden (OW) and Appenzell Innerrhoden (AI). Zug is often considered the most tax-attractive canton.
What is LPP and how is it calculated?
LPP (Occupational Pension Law) is the 2nd pillar of the Swiss retirement system. The employee contribution rate varies by age: 3.5% (25-34 years), 5% (35-44 years), 7.5% (45-54 years) and 9% (55-65 years).
What is the difference between federal and cantonal tax?
Federal direct tax (IFD) is the same throughout Switzerland with a progressive scale. Cantonal and municipal taxes vary according to your place of residence and generally represent the largest portion of the tax burden.
