By Frontaliere Ticino Editorial Team
Frontaliere Ticino is an independent information platform for cross-border workers between Switzerland (Canton Ticino) and Italy. The platform provides free calculators, comparison tools, practical guides, and job listings — all maintained with data from official Swiss and Italian sources.
The project started from the direct experience of cross-border workers who found it difficult to navigate the complex fiscal, administrative, and practical landscape of working in one country and living in another. Every tool is designed to answer real questions with verifiable data.
Content is updated continuously to reflect legislative changes, new tax rates, and evolving bilateral agreements. The platform operates independently of any financial institution, insurance provider, or employer, ensuring unbiased information for all users.
This page is part of Frontaliere Ticino, the reference platform for cross-border workers between Switzerland (Canton Ticino) and Italy. Find practical tools, updated data, and verified information.
Content is designed to help cross-border workers make informed decisions about taxation, pensions, transportation, cost of living, and administrative procedures.
All tools and data are updated for the 2026 fiscal year, reflecting the New Bilateral Tax Agreement between Switzerland and Italy, current AVS/LPP contribution rates, and Canton Ticino withholding tax tables.
The platform covers the complete cross-border worker lifecycle: from obtaining your G or B permit and opening a Swiss bank account, to filing your annual tax returns in both countries, planning your AVS and LPP pension, and comparing the cost of living on both sides of the border.
