wieviel.ch: 23 Practical Calculators for Switzerland

What you can find

wieviel.ch currently lists 23 free calculators for everyday questions in Switzerland; calcule.ch is the French-language version. The homepage groups them under work and leave, money and finance, health and lifestyle, and traffic. A child-maintenance calculator is now listed in addition to the 22 tools named in the old article. The count and selection may change. According to the operator, calculations run locally in your browser; the site also discloses usage statistics with OpenPanel. That means a blanket “no tracking” claim would be misleading.

How to use a calculator well

• Open wieviel.ch or calcule.ch and select the topic you need.
• Read the data basis and review date on that calculator's page before entering figures.
• Enter your own numbers and check which assumptions the tool makes.
• For consequential questions, compare the result with an official source or individual advice.

The salary tool can compare gross and net pay, while the part-time tool illustrates possible effects on income and retirement provision. The mortgage tool estimates affordability using model assumptions, not a binding bank offer. For VAT, check the applicable rate and category with the Swiss Federal Tax Administration, which explains the standard, reduced and special rates.

Where estimates are not enough

A blood-alcohol calculator gives an estimate only: it is neither a measured alcohol level nor proof that you are fit to drive. Do not decide to drive after drinking on the basis of a calculated figure. Fines, maintenance, leave reductions, pension gaps and mortgages also depend on your circumstances and current rules. For legal, financial or health consequences, ask the responsible authority or a qualified professional. These tools can help you understand a question; they do not replace a bank, authority or professional decision.
