How it works

Every deduction is traceable

The payslip shows salary components, deductions with base and rate, net salary, payout and the employer contributions for information. You enter the rates from your policies (AHV fund, FAK, UVG, KTG, pension fund) once, with an explanation for each field.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Who maintains the values?

We update the federal values (AHV rates, ceilings, BVG thresholds) every year. Child allowances follow the canton. You enter the rates from your insurers.

Is the salary certificate official?

Buchsnap creates the salary certificate following the layout of Form 11 (FTA guidelines). If in doubt, ask your accountant to confirm that your tax office accepts this format.

Is ELM / Swissdec supported?

Not yet. You export the annual reports for the AHV fund and insurers as PDF and Excel for upload.

Does each payslip cost extra?

No. All payslips are included in the Pro plan.
