Here's the full Germany vs Switzerland (Zurich canton only) take-home comparison, the FX caveat, and why Swiss health insurance changes the maths.

Germany Company Car Tax: The 1% Rule Explained (2026)

The 1%-Regelung taxes private use of a German company car at 1% of its gross list price (Bruttolistenpreis) per month, plus a commute add-on. A battery-electric car under the €100,000 list-price cap (raised from €70,000 in 2025) only pays 0.25%, a quarter of the petrol rate. Here's exactly how the geldwerter Vorteil is calculated, a worked €80,000-salary example, and the social-insurance gap most explainers skip.
