Inflation Calculator 2026

Inflation reduces the real value of money over time. For example, with 2% annual inflation, CHF 100 today will only have the purchasing power of CHF 82 in 10 years. The rates and scales used are those in force for 2026; your municipality, marital status and number of children shift the result by several points.

It applies the official 2026 rates: AHV, IV and EO at 5.3%, ALV at 1.1% up to the ceiling, non-occupational accident insurance and the BVG scale by age, plus the cantonal and municipal multipliers. What it cannot know are company-specific pension terms, church tax status or deductions claimed in your tax return, so treat the result as a close estimate.

No. Every calculation runs locally in your browser and nothing is transmitted to a server or stored between visits. Closing the tab discards everything you entered. That design is deliberate: salary and savings figures are sensitive, and the tool is only useful if you can enter real numbers without hesitating.
