Real employee cost calculator

Estimate employer cost: salary, AVS 5.3%, UI, pension and entered expenses. Not a payslip. Next: Organized Accounting.

You are budgeting a Swiss hire and want to separate gross salary, ordinary 2026 employer charges and the costs from your contracts. The tool applies employer AVS/AI/APG 5.3% and unemployment 1.1% up to the CHF 148,200 annual ceiling; family allowances, pension, accident, sickness and other costs come from your input. Basis: adult employee before reference age, full year, 12 or 13 monthly payments. This is not a payslip, not an AVS statement and not a withholding-tax calculation. Real premiums depend on the fund, the canton and the contract. Add recruitment, equipment and overhead if you want a wider budget. Recheck official AVS and unemployment leaflets, then your fiduciary or fund. Cortex stores no amount. After the estimate, withholding tax and the salary-dividend comparator cover other pay questions, without validating a payroll entry.
