Job opportunity in Basel

Posted in Switzerland forum

Hy everyone. I am on a selection for a job position in Basel in a pharmacetical company. As I will have to move my family, is there anyone who could help me in describing what would it be a good salary to live (a 4 people family with 2 babies) in Basel?
Thank you for all.

    Hi Angela,

    Its very hard to say what salary you need. Switzerland is a high cost country and the salaries are gross - meaning you will have to pay taxes in the end of the year plus you need a health insurance that cost you from CHF 250-500 per month.

    If you are a european citizen I in the first period the taxes are deducted automatically (double check in your case). To find out more about prizes, salaries etc, this site could help: http://www.xpatulator.com/

    Average salaries in Switzerland are around CHF 5,000 and you should be quite a bit above.

    Regards and good luck,

    Oliver
