Asking Zurich: How much SALARY do you SAVE in Zurich, Switzerland

@@petralea its a lot

[@helinnaa]

when I worked I used to earn a netto salary of 4000 francs a month and saved around 3000 monthly. That was only possible because I still lived with my parents, so considering the life circumstances it can be possible. If I had to pay rent and had to feed a family it definitely wouldn't have been possible at all

[@smeclau]

Considering how much childcare, dentists, or the privilege to own the roof above one's head, it's easy to realize 2kpm means actually almost nothing here.

Would love some content on how switzerland sees home ownership and how much you need to earn to buy a house in zurich! I did some quick research (dont take my word for it) but houses in Zurich go for arround 700k - 1.5 million. Assuming you need 20-30% for the downpayment, that means you need to have 275k in your bank account (using 1.1mill as an example). So if you're able to save 2k per month, thats 24k per year, meaning you have to save for 11.5 years to buy a house there. Also, lets not forget inflation, because if i start saving for a "1 million house" today, that will grow 2.5% average per year

On any average salary you can save up to 60%. Many of these people just spend too much on stuff and also wanna live in expensive locations. Especially in Zurich people tend to dress expensively and eat out a lot, go clubbing etc. It's their choice to live in the most expensive city in the country.

[@claudiaandjan]

Hey thanks for sharing your opinion 💯🎉

[@appz5946]

House rent is expensive

[@personlichee-mail3775]

Expensive clothes in Zürich? Maybe just for fancy work positions but Swiss ppl have big culture of reusing things. You’ll find next to door always things that ppl don’t use anymore,and they don’t throw it away. Also when they need something they don’t run to buy new. Here are also very active chat groups when ppl in neighborhoods giveaway daily stuff and also asking if someone is giving away something what they need or if someone is willing to seek it cheaper. I’ve changed several neighborhoods and each works on same way. Exceptions are ppl who still didn’t connect with neighbors but since is really Internationally,ppl are more likely to connect on English

[@edwin.jansen]

If you ask most Dutch they will tell you zero to almost nothing and then hearing almost everybody saves in Zurich then it is clear that the living standards in Zurich are much higher than in most of the Netherlands. But perhaps you might get the same answers in Amsterdam.

[@michaelr.4921]

Official stats indicate that the Dutch only have a minority smaller (5%) savings rate than the Swiss.

[@alexi_space]

Living in NL, I rent a room for 450 euro and earn 553 euro weekly. I'm able to save around 40%. Still it's only around 900-1000 euro monthly. Sucks. I'm thinking to move to Swiss. Been living there for around a year earning 3300 netto, paying 750 for room and 700 for food. I was able to save few hundred euros more. Hence I often ate some cheap pizzas for frank just to save

[@BradleyAhrens]

One thing that maybe made a difference here is how people saved their money. So, you have the obligatory 1 pillar in your taxes to save for retirement. Then, with your company if you are employed, you have the second pillar. Then, with the third pillar (3a), you can save up to a certain amount as an employee or I think about 36k / year as self-employed. These are all tax-free savings. So, I'm not sure if when you asked people if they were stating on top of these savings or including these savings. I think the ones who said a lot perhaps were including the 2nd and 3rd pillars.

[@georgibg]

Living in Eastern Europe as an IT professional, I am surprised at how little money Swiss people save both in absolute and relative terms.

[@Micha-bp5om]

The salaries are around 5000-7000€ after taxes for IT professionals, depending on studies and experience. The rent is 2000-2500€, health insurance around 300€. 200€ electricity, internet. I got an offer for around 7000€ in Zürich, after rent and bills I would have around 4000€ to spend. My estimation is I can save around 2500€. Not worth it... I live in Germany and earn 5300€ netto and have my own apartament (still pay to the bank 1200€ monthly). I am also from Eastern Europe, my last salary there was 2200€ after taxes

[@ramonsuter7435]

Your conclusion is so wrong, you forgot so many things 1. Youre earning more than average in germany while youre offer from CH was just over average 2. You forgot about all the benefits switzerland provides: Cleanliness, nature, public transport, stability, peace, security, economic security... 3. With the money you earn in CH you can go on cheap vacation. 4. Youre comparing the most expensive city of switzerland with your city. Only 400k people live in zurich so the other 95% or switzerland pays a lot less rent. 5. In switzerland the taxes are really low So not onyl your calculations are nonsense but especially your conclusion that its not worth it to live in switzerland when its just in your specific occasion.

it means their parents have property. It's the same everywhere else in the world. Only people who have to focus on saving are those who are first generation middle class in their bloodline. 2nd generation onwards have a healthy bank account. You work for passion/interest & spending money.

@@علي-ش7ث8ب they could save for a deposit which is usually 20% of property value (from what my Swiss friends have told me) for example if you wanted to buy an 800,000 CHF apartment then be ready to have 160,000 saved up which over 5/10 years is definitely doable.

they save more than people make a month

Hey there, thanks so much for your comment! Have a wonderful weekend! :-)

I think it's just better to ask either how much they save in franks or how much %. Both of these questions together look a bit too much :D

[@claudiaandjan]

Hello, we thought it would interesting to ask both in a single video. We are taking note for a future video 👍

You pay less taxes if you have debt.. Saving is for children.

Asking how much do you save and then how much percentage is that is basically you ask to expose their salary. And only the Italian guy who works in IT understood that 😂

[@claudiaandjan]

Hey thanks a lot for the answer 🤗👍 Yes you are right it is almost the same. 😃 Have a great day!

Looks like the Swiss save less, and try to enjoy life more

[@claudiaandjan]

Hey there thanks so much for sharing your point of view 🙌

[@j134679]

because theyre asking for savings after net. But that means they already took out pension & insurance costs.

[@JamGermi]

Zurich very expensive !

[@joaosalgado1949]

Good salaries but not a lot of savings…
