The salary certificate for your household employee, in two minutes
Under the ordinary procedure your employee needs this document once a year for her tax return. Enter the year's figures, we work out the deductions and you download the finished PDF.
Calculate, or type in?
Both produce the same PDF. The only difference is where the deductions come from.
The calculation uses the 2026 contribution rates. For a different year, switch to “I have the figures” above.
Who, and for what period
The year's figures
What you actually paid out over the course of the year.
Everything you transferred or paid in cash, before deductions. Holiday and public-holiday supplements belong here.
Only for employees who live or eat at your home. Otherwise leave empty.

What goes on the document
Salary certificate (Lohnausweis) 2026
Certificate for the employee
Do you have to issue it?
Under the ordinary procedure, yes: as the employer you issue the salary certificate for the year just ended, and your employee attaches it to her tax return. Under the simplified procedure, as a rule, no: the compensation office sends her a confirmation of the source tax deducted directly, and she attaches that to her tax return. You can still give her a salary certificate, for example as proof of income for a flat application. This tool produces the document following the structure of the official Form 11.
When is it due?
In practice in January and February, once the wage year is closed. If the employment ends mid-year, you issue the certificate for the period worked rather than waiting for the next January. What your compensation office has confirmed in writing for the simplified procedure appears in the tool as soon as you pick your canton.
