This tool estimates what your current Italian salary would translate to if you took an equivalent role in Swiss Canton Ticino. It uses sector-specific salary data from the Federal Statistical Office (BFS) and applies the full Swiss deduction chain: AVS/AHV, unemployment, accident insurance, LPP pension, and Canton Ticino withholding tax.
The estimate accounts for the cross-border context: if you would commute from Italy, the G permit withholding tax regime applies; if you would relocate to Switzerland, the B permit ordinary taxation applies. Both scenarios are shown side by side.
Use this tool before job interviews or salary negotiations to establish a realistic expectation of Swiss net pay in your sector and at your experience level, converted to euros for direct comparison with your current Italian compensation.
