Household Budget Survey 2014 - Great differences in the household budget
Neuchâtel, 25.11.2016 - (FSO) – In 2014 the average disposable income of households in Switzerland was CHF 7176 per month but was subject to great variation. The disposable income of single person households under the age of 65 in the top income group, for example, is four times higher than those in the lowest income group. Households in the bottom 20% spend, on average, more than they earn. These are new findings from the Household Budget Survey conducted by the Federal Statistical Office (FSO).
