Results that need interpreting.
The calculator applies a formula. The UID checker validates an identifier. The comparator helps frame the need. The simulator computes from your assumptions.
None of these tools validates an entry, files a VAT return or replaces a review of your file.
The nine tools
Each tool answers a short question. The guide stays on the matching topic page.
| Tool | What it calculates | What it does not do |
|---|---|---|
| VAT calculator | Net ↔ gross at 8.1, 2.6 and 3.8 % | The FTA VAT return |
| UID checker | Format and modulo-11 check digit | A VAT registration certificate |
| Comparator | The roles: ERP, capture, document upstream | A score or a ranking |
| Cost simulator | An indicative order of magnitude | A quote |
| QR-bill | Payment section and IBAN / reference checks | A complete commercial invoice |
| Salary or dividend | Net comparison of the same company budget | An exact cantonal tax assessment |
| Employee cost | Salary, employer charges and entered expenses | A payslip |
| Withholding tax | Estimate from the 2026 cantonal scale | The employer return |
| Mortgage capacity | Equity, debt and theoretical charges | A credit approval |

A calculation does not replace a file
These tools answer an isolated question. Cortex steps in when documents have to be organised and checked.
Back to accounting preparation
After a rate, a UID or an estimate, the useful work remains the file: documents, checks, validation, export. VAT guide: /tva-suisse. File: /comptabilite-organisee.
FAQ
Do the tools replace Cortex?
No. They answer a one-off question; Cortex prepares a complete documentary file. Next: /comptabilite-organisee.
