Hey everyone,
I'm in the process of signing a secondment contract and moving out to Zurich, I have a few general queries which I'm sure regulars have heard a hundred times before but my internet searching has not been a success:
1. Rent - I know this varies massively by region within Zurich, but i would literally just be looking to rent a room (preferably a double) within 30 mins of the city centre. Doesn't have to be outstanding quality, what ballpark figures would I be looking at per month?
2. Taxes - This has confused me no end (and I'm an accountant...). Is there no general percentage tax that I can apply to my gross salary of 70,000 CHF to see the net amount? I gather national tax is around 8% but then kanton and municipal goes on top of this?
many thanks to anyone who feels pity for my idiotically basic questions and responds
