What If Scenarios (cross-border guide)
Calculate your net
By Frontaliere Ticino Editorial Team
The "What If" simulator lets you change one parameter at a time — marital status, distance from the border, number of children, work percentage, canton — and instantly see the impact on monthly and annual net salary, so you can evaluate real decisions before making them.
Each scenario is calculated with the same rules as the main simulator: Swiss social deductions, cantonal withholding tax, and CHF-EUR conversion. Differences are highlighted visually for quick comparison.
This tool is particularly useful when evaluating a change of residence, a marriage, the birth of a child, or a switch to part-time work: all situations that significantly modify a cross-border worker's taxation.
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.
