Frequently asked questions


Why my rental budget should be 30% of my income?

It is a widely accepted recommendation that housing expenses, including rent, should not exceed 30% of an individual's income. For example, if you make CHF58'968 per year , you should plan to spend about CHF17'690 annually on rent (CHF1'474 a month).

By keeping housing expenses at or below 30% of income, individuals are more likely to have enough money for other living expenses and to save for future financial goals such as buying a home or investing.
