Calculators

Three calculators, built on Swiss federal data.

Every number you see is sourced from FINMA, ESTV, VIAC, or the cantonal tax administrations — and we cite each one. No marketing math, no glossy relocation brochures. Just the rules your bank or tax office will actually apply.

Methodology

How we build these.

All federal income tax brackets are pulled from ESTV for the 2026 tax year. Mortgage rules follow the FINMA mortgage fact sheet. Pillar 3a limits come from VIAC's annual BVG derivation. Effective cantonal tax rates blend KPMG's Clarity on Swiss Taxes with cantonal capitals from taxolution.ch.

Two 2026 changes to flag: Swiss voters approved the abolition of the Eigenmietwert(imputed rental value) in September 2025 — effective from the 2028 tax period. And the March 2026 individual taxation referendum passed, which will change how married couples are assessed once implementation rolls out. Our calculators reflect the rules in force for the 2026 tax year and we'll update as transitions arrive.
