A clearer picture of your household finances.

Keep track of your income, bills, taxes and savings in one place.

Smart budgeting

Track income and expenses by category, carry balances month to month, and always know where you stand.

Swiss taxes by canton

Built on the official ESTV tax figures for every canton, adjusted to your municipality, marriage, children and 13th salary. Plan ahead with a tax estimate.

Savings goals & net worth

Set goals, watch them fill up, and see your full net worth — assets, savings and all — at a glance.

Yearly bills, paid monthly

Tax, Serafe, insurance: every bill that arrives once a year gets a small monthly reserve, so no single month takes the whole hit.

3a, health insurance, projects

Track your pillar 3a and what it saves you in tax, get a nudge when health insurance premiums change, and keep a holiday or a move as its own project.

Family-friendly, start to finish

Plan for one person or the whole household, with multiple incomes and shared goals. No ads, distractions or outside content, just your household budget.

New in 1.4

Accounts and transfers

Track several accounts and move money without counting a transfer as income or spending.

Bills and dates

See bills in a calendar and follow a yearly Swiss admin checklist.

Category caps

Set spending limits, with optional rollover for unused amounts.

Find expenses faster

Save favourite expenses and search your history.

Foreign currency and debt

Record foreign purchases in CHF and plan a debt payoff date.

Household shares

See who paid what, who owes whom, and tax payments beside your reserve.

A job offer in another canton? Try it first.

Salary and canton decide what's left at the end of the month. Copy your budget, change those two, and compare before you sign anything.

  1. Long-press your plan and duplicate it. Your real budget stays as it is.
  2. In the copy, enter the new salary and the new canton.
  3. Switch between the two plans. The tax estimate and what's left each month update on their own.

The tax is an estimate, not a tax return.

A few tips from us.

Nothing life-changing — just the small things that make the app nicer once you know they're there.

Give your plans an emoji

Vacation ✈️, New Car 🚗, House 🏠. Pop an emoji into the plan name and picking the right one becomes a half-second job.

Long-press a plan

That's where duplicate hides. Copy a plan, change one number, and see what happens — your real budget stays untouched.

Tap the donut

On the Expenses screen, tap any slice or category row to open it up. Fair warning: this is how you find the subscription you forgot about.

Flip Monthly to Yearly

One tap on the dashboard turns every number into its yearly twin. CHF 27.92 a month for the Serafe is quietly CHF 335 a year.

Go collect an achievement

Settings → Achievements keeps your savings milestones. No streaks to lose and no guilt trips — just a small trophy when you hit one.

Choose a colour theme

Open Settings → Appearance and pick the colour theme you prefer.

Lock it

Settings → App Lock. A 4-digit PIN — or your fingerprint or face, if the phone has one — and whoever borrows your phone sees the lock, not your budget.

Add the 13th salary

Bonus, 13th salary, a side job: the + on the dashboard has an Extra income entry. One-off or every month, and the taxable ones flow straight into the tax estimate.

  • Exported backups can be saved or shared wherever you choose.

A private way to manage your budget.

Questions, answered.

No. Anyone can use it. Pick CHF, EUR or USD, or type your own currency code. Outside Switzerland the Swiss tax estimate and the Pillar 3a and health-insurance checks switch off by themselves, and in Switzerland you can turn the tax reserve off in your profile. What's left is a plain, private budget: income, bills, goals and savings.
Yes. Every budgeting, tax and savings feature is free — no ads and no paywalled numbers. If you want to support the work, you pay what you feel like — from CHF 1 — and that unlocks a few extra colour themes. Nothing else: it is purely cosmetic and buys you nothing you actually need.
Your budget data stays on your phone. Usage statistics are sent to Aptabase in the EU only if you opt in. Google Play handles optional Supporter purchases and restore checks. You can export a backup and choose where to save or share it.
No. You can install and use the app without signing up or logging in.
Settings → Data Management → Backup exports your data to a file in a folder you choose. You can add a password to encrypt the .sbk file. On a new phone, Restore adds the plans from that file without removing existing plans. The app also keeps a daily backup on the device. Save or share exported backups wherever you choose.
Ten: German, French, Italian and Rumantsch — all four Swiss national languages — plus English, Romanian, Hungarian, Croatian, Serbian and Albanian. Every screen is fully translated, not machine-guessed.
SwissBudget+ is designed for adult household budgeting.
