What you actually receive: fees compared

Converting 5,000 CHF through a specialised service yields about 5,383 euro; at a traditional bank counter about 5,243 euro. That is 140 euro per transfer — if this is your monthly salary, over 1,685 euro a year left in fees.

| Wise (TransferWise) | ~0.30% | ≈ 4,307 EUR |
| Cambiavalute.ch | ~0.35% | ≈ 4,304 EUR |

| Traditional bank (counter) | ~2.8% + 5 CHF | ≈ 4,193 EUR |
Gross or net? The cross-border scenario
If 5,000 CHF is your gross monthly Swiss salary, the typical cross-border net — after source tax, AHV/IV/EO, unemployment insurance and pension fund — lands between 3,800 and 4,200 francs, i.e. roughly 4,104 to 4,536 euro at today's rate. The band depends on canton, marital status, children and deductible: the calculator narrows it to your real situation in a minute.
Family band: measure the yearly cost
When the salary supports more than one person, the comparison is not limited to the euro value of one transfer. Measure exchange costs against the recurring budget and check whether a smaller spread better protects school, housing and daily expenses.
