Method

How we calculate

We use the official premium tariffs for 2026 and 2027 published by the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH, open data). The change by canton is the FOPH figure where published; otherwise we estimate it from all standard tariffs, weighted by each insurer's insured people in the canton (marked ≈).

The change by insurer is the median across all premium regions, for the standard model, adults, deductible CHF 300, with accident. The Zurich gap compares the cheapest offer (any model) with the most expensive standard premium, both for adults with deductible CHF 300 and accident, in premium region 1.
