Bern combines corrected income, residual wealth, household structure and premium region. It is more technical than it first appears.

Bern does not read net income alone; it also corrects for wealth and deductions.

Three premium regions

The residential area directly affects the indicative result.

What matters in Bern

The Bernese reading starts from net income, integrates part of the wealth above an allowance, and applies household and child deductions before placing the file into the relevant bracket.

The premium region then changes the reference amount used for adults, young adults and children.

Frequently asked questions

The essential answers before comparing or requesting support.
