Compare all 2,124 Swiss municipalities by tax burden, rent & purchase prices, second-home share and education level — and find the location that suits you best.
Choosing where to live is one of the most important financial decisions you can make. Tax burdens alone can differ by several thousand francs per year between two municipalities in the same canton — and that's before considering the significant differences in rent, purchase prices, education level and quality of life.

Which Swiss municipality suits you? Filter by budget, tax burden, commute time, education level, living preferences, etc.
In Switzerland, tax burdens vary enormously between municipalities: while Zug municipalities rank among the cheapest at around 8–9% effective tax burden, some Neuchâtel municipalities exceed 23%. For a single person earning CHF 150,000, that difference amounts to several thousand francs per year.
Add the differences in property prices: the most affordable municipalities in Jura or Thurgau can have purchase prices for apartments below CHF 4,000/m² — compared to over CHF 17,000/m² in Küsnacht or Herrliberg.
The most tax-efficient cantons in Switzerland are Zug, Schwyz and Nidwalden. But within these cantons there are still significant differences between individual municipalities. With the Immoskop location finder, you can compare all municipalities in a canton directly and find the optimal place to live for your personal situation.
Beyond tax burden, many other factors play a role: How high are rent and purchase prices? Is there a second-home restriction under the second-home act? What is the education level for families? How far is the commute to work? Immoskop combines all this information — free and without registration.
