Average salary in Switzerland in euros

Switzerland is a state in which citizens receive a really high salary. And this is well known to each of us. After all, Switzerland is famous for its high standard of living. Well, it is worth considering this topic in more detail and tell us about the average salary in Switzerland.

About payments

To begin with, I would like to note a few nuances. Firstly, the wage in this state is paid once a month, and not twice, as with us (first the advance, and then the balances). There is another 13th salary - a bonus given to employees at the end of the year. By the way, it is issued even to those who have worked in the organization for less than a year. But the size of the premium, as you know, depends on the success of the employee and the time during which he works in the company.

Even in this country there is no such thing as an SMIC. The average monthly salary in Switzerland is easily calculated, but the minimum is not available. Not so long ago, this question was raised at the national referendum. It was planned to establish a minimum wage at four thousand francs a month. This is approximately 267,000 rubles at the current rate. But it was decided to reject this proposal, because because of this many firms and enterprises would have to change prices for their services and goods.

But in this country there is a concept of "dirty" and "clean" wages, just as we have "in the envelope" and "white c / n." Usually the net wage is lower than the dirty, about 25%. And for people working on a permit, they deduct from the salary the income tax deduction.

The most profitable specialties

The average salary in Switzerland is usually compared by industry. So, a person working in a banking structure gets about 52,000 francs a month. This is almost 3 500 000 rubles.

Further in the rating is the insurance sphere of activity. Her employees earn an average of 43,000 francs a month. This is about 2,900,000 rubles. And the average salary in Switzerland of a person working in the field of agriculture is 23,500 francs. Experts of the car industry receive a little less - 22 500.

The last two places are occupied by the construction sector and hospitality (tourism) - 16 000 and 11 800 francs, respectively.

Regions

As you can see, the amounts paid to employees are very decent. In dozens and in some cases even hundreds of times they exceed the figures in Russia. But it is worthwhile to tell in detail about the average salary in Switzerland by regions. Take, for example, Zurich. There the average figure is 12,000 francs. This is about 800 000 rubles a month.

In the area of Lake Geneva, where cities such as Lausanne, Vevey, Thonon-les-Bains, Evian-les-Bains, Geneva and Montreux are located, the average wage is 10 564 francs. In the north-east of the country this figure is 10 550. In the central part - 9365 francs. And, finally, in the East - 8450. This is the smallest indicator. But in rubles the amount is 564 000 rubles.

Interesting Facts

It is important to know that in men, the average earnings in Switzerland are more by 25-30% than in women. And over the past ten years, the size of payments has grown significantly - by as much as 13.2%. In general, after a person is removed from all tax payments, it remains to him about 6,300 francs. This is an average, if you take the above indicators of 8-12 thousand. In rubles, this amount is 420 thousand.

Everyone knows that life in Switzerland is expensive. But these 6,300 francs are still enough:

• A liter of milk in the country, for example, costs 1.8 fr.
• Loaf of bread - 3 francs.
• Rice is 2-4, depending on the variety.
• A dozen eggs - from 3 to 6 francs.
• Apples - about 3.5 per kilogram.
• For a bottle of wine you will have to pay 20, for half a liter of beer - 1.5-3 fr.
• Expensive here cost cigarettes - a pack costs about 8 francs.
• And for housing will be about 20% of income, if it's your own, - rent and other utilities.
• Rent apartments for one and a half, two, three thousand - there is a choice, but if you want to settle in a big city or even the capital, you will have to prepare for high prices. Although outside megacities can live well.

In general, even the average salary in Switzerland, with taxes and high prices, allows you to not deny yourself anything and even save money.

"The book of salaries"

In 2010, Switzerland issued such a publication. And certain data, indicated in it, to this day remain relevant.

In addition, the agency's employees will assume obligations regarding the collection of documents and their registration. Of course, you have to pay for it, but it's better than trying to organize everything yourself. Without proper work experience it will be difficult.

But even a person will need to approach the requirements. He must interest the employer and convince him that he has the necessary skills, skills and experience. And then - get an invitation and issue a work visa. By the way, you can still issue a residence permit. For a year or for a season. There is also an unlimited residence permit. It's only possible to get it, after spending a bit more time and working in Switzerland for more than ten years.
