Two lives, same numbers: cross-border or resident?
Switzerland’s real question isn’t “how much do I earn” — it’s “what life is left to me”. Compare your two sides, now, without an account:
Your two lives, side by side
🇫🇷→🇨🇭 Cross-border
Left to live on
4'082 CHF/month
Monthly net5'761 CHF
Rent applied1'100 CHF
Total cost of living1'679 CHF
Beyond the numbers: commutes (~1–1.5h round trip), schooling (from 2026 Geneva no longer admits children residing in France), healthcare depending on CMU/LAMal. Pros & cons →
🇨🇭 Resident
Left to live on
2'659 CHF/month
Monthly net5'461 CHF
Rent applied2'000 CHF
Total cost of living2'802 CHF
Cross-border advantage: 1'423 CHF/month left to live on (~17'076 CHF/year) — a raw comparison, at estimated rents. The reasoned verdict (remote work, option right, trajectory) is the job of the Decision Engine.
Verified 2026 rates (contributions, tax by canton and status, LAMal/CMU) · cross-border rent estimated via a cross-border factor if not provided · indicative estimates — not tax advice. Our method.

Your path, depending on your situation
I aim for Switzerland while staying in France
Permit G, taxes by canton, LAMal or CMU, framed remote work — the cross-border path.
I’m settling in Switzerland
Permit B, housing, insurance, real budget — the resident path, without the first-month surprises.
I’ve signed, I’m organising my arrival
The first 14 days, the arrival registration, the bank, the dossier — in order.
