How the salary is calculated

Gross wage

Hourly rate multiplied by hours worked. Plus the holiday supplement: 8.33% for 4 weeks holiday, 10.64% for 5 weeks, 13.04% for 6 weeks.

Employee deductions

Deducted from the gross wage: AHV/IV/EO (5.3%), ALV (1.1%), withholding tax (5% in the simplified procedure). From 8 or more hours per week, non-occupational accident insurance (UVG-NBU, 1.432%) is added.

Your employer contributions

In addition to the net wage, you pay as employer: AHV/IV/EO (5.3%), ALV (1.1%), occupational accident insurance (UVG-BU, 0.505%) and the cantonal FAK contribution (varies from 0.80% to 2.95% depending on the canton).

Gross or net agreed?

Many domestic workers agree on a net wage ("I get CHF 30 in hand"). In this case, Clino calculates the corresponding gross wage so that the agreed net amount remains after all deductions.

Source of contribution rates

All rates are based on the official data from the Federal Social Insurance Office (FSIO) and the cantonal compensation offices, valid from 1 January 2025. UVG rates according to the VAVplus framework agreement (SOLIDA Insurance AG). FAK contributions per canton.
