Behind Swiss Finly
Behind Swiss Finly
Who is behind Swiss Finly, why it exists, and how to reach me.
Nobody taught us this in school
Taxes, the 3rd pillar, investing, mortgages, compound interest… We leave school knowing the Pythagorean theorem, but not how to fill out a tax return or why starting a 3a in your early 20s instead of 35 can mean tens of thousands of francs difference at retirement.
On top of that, my parents aren't Swiss natives either, so growing up, there was simply no one at home who could walk me through how taxes, pillars, or mortgages work here. I had to figure it all out on my own, and also lost some money in the process.
So I built Swiss Finly
A free platform of Swiss financial calculators to help you actually understand your own numbers. Salary and tax estimates, pillar 3a, mortgage affordability, buying vs. leasing, compound interest, a financial check-up, and for the most ambitious, a FIRE calculator.
No ads. No account needed. No data collected. Just tools.
Why it matters
If you're a young tax resident in Switzerland and want to finally get a handle on your money, this is for you!
Financial literacy shouldn't be a privilege reserved for people who happen to grow up around it! And someday, I'll be glad to pass this knowledge on to my own kids so they won't have to start from zero like I did.
