New figures from the Swiss Federal Statistical Office (FSO) show that full-time workers in Switzerland earned significantly more in 2025. The median salary was higher than in the 2024 survey.
Anyone who had a full-time job in Switzerland last year earned a median gross salary of CHF87,000 ($107,000). This means that the “average wage” has risen significantly. In 2024, the FSO recorded a median wage of CHF81,500.
This is according to the latest figures from the Swiss Labour Force Survey (Sake), published on Thursday. The gross wage measured includes income from both employment and self-employment.

It is also not just wages but also income from employment-related social benefits. The statistics do not count income from other sources that is independent of employment, such as capital gains, social assistance and transfer payments, as part of earned income.
