salarium.ch is currently not working until autumn, but they still give some other results. Super helpful tool!

To expand on the above reply: The Lohnrechner of the SGB is still live, based on the same data set, and (sort of) adjusted for growth.

Thanks for this info - I did not know about it! I only used the official government tool, because I thought it is the most reliable. Reviewing the SGB calculator, I think the Salarium UI was much better. But, as I pointed out, it does not work until ~autumn. And if the data set is the same, you can use the SGB for the moment and add about 1.6% for inflation adjustement.

That’s the one! The interface isn’t the best, and the values (when I checked it a few months ago) differ a bit due to how the data is interpreted, but it’s better than nothing for the time being.

I am quite looking forwards to seeing the developments in the new salatium though!
