Methodology

How WalletSwiss estimates net salary outcomes.

Data sources

Tax tables and multipliers are based on publicly available Swiss federal and canton data sets. Blog and guide pages are editorial content maintained in the repository.

Calculation logic

Gross salary is annualized, social insurance is applied, then federal/cantonal/communal/church components are calculated with tariff and multiplier rules.

Limitations

Employer-specific payroll rules, optional deductions, and personal tax rulings can change final results. Treat outputs as planning estimates.

Update cycle

We refresh tax data when official updates are available and document meaningful model changes in versioned project files.
