Frequently asked questions

  • How much does a cleaner cost per hour in Switzerland?
    As a guide, private cleaners earn about CHF 29–35 gross per hour (quitt. data published by myky, March 2026). Minimum wages set a floor. Under the federal NAV for household work, it is CHF 20.35 gross per hour, from an average of 5 hours a week with the same employer (not in Geneva). Geneva, Basel-Stadt, Jura, Neuchâtel and Ticino also have cantonal minimum wages.
  • Do I have to pay AHV for a cleaner who only comes a few hours a month?
    In general, yes. For work in private households, AHV/IV/EO contributions are due from the first franc – the CHF 2'500 limit does not apply. Exception: young people up to 31 December of the year they turn 25 who earn no more than CHF 750 a year from your household. Check with your cantonal AHV compensation office.
  • Is accident insurance mandatory for a cleaner?
    Yes. Households must insure their staff against accidents with an approved insurer – not Suva. From 8 hours a week with the same employer, non-occupational accidents are covered too. With VAvplus, you can settle it together with AHV through your compensation office.
