What this tool calculates

The deductible is applied first to the annual costs entered. The ordinary 10% retention fee then applies to the balance, up to the annual cap for the selected category.

The estimate separates deductible, retention fee and theoretical balance. It does not compare monthly premiums or choose a deductible for you.

Not included in the result

  • The CHF 15 per-day hospital contribution.
  • Higher retention fees for certain medicines, maternity exemptions and family caps.
  • Non-covered benefits, reimbursement decisions and insurance premiums.
