850 gives very roughly about CHF 12000 net Get a quote though because of your personal circumstances, holidays etc
You can check on https://www.homegate.ch/de for flats, for a family starting at CHF 3000 upwards.
check on Vergleichen und sparen – comparis.ch for medical insurance
This will cost you at least a few hundred because you have to insure the whole family. You need to get familiar with the options.
Once those costs are covered then it's generally more expensive than the UK but you can usually find an inexpensive option if you shop around.I'm alright JackComment

Probably you'll be on payroll. Switzerland has a similar rule to IR35, which they enforce at the client, so some companies simply place all contractors through a payroll company.
I would start anyway on payroll, as it will be complicated trying to setup a company.
I would definitely do your own sums. It depends on many things. I just gave you a ballpark figure to start with. Cantonal tax can make a difference, e.g. commuting from Zug. Your age makes a difference as the amount you pay in to the pension goes up as you get older. I would get a quote from a payroll company.

Keep in mind that when they quote 850/day in Switzerland. that's before they take out all employee and employer-side taxes. It's not a huge amount, but it's not bad. It's a great place to live, and if you have young children, you'll love it - Switzerland is great for families.Comment
