Premium regions in the canton of Basel-Landschaft

The canton is divided into 2 premium regions. That is why the health insurance premium also varies within the canton.

Median monthly premium for one adult, standard model with accident cover, CHF 300 deductible, FOPH 2027.

Do you pay tax at source, for example on a B permit? Then differences between municipalities in a canton only matter to you under a subsequent ordinary assessment.

The deduction from your salary is the same in every municipality of a canton. From a gross salary of CHF 120,000 a year you are assessed under the ordinary procedure automatically, below that on application by 31 March of the following year; your municipality’s tax rate then applies. Tax at source and where you live

How we calculate

Total cost adds up income tax (FTA: federal + cantonal + municipal + church), the health insurance premium (FOPH premium region, standard model with CHF 300 deductible) and electricity (ElCom, standard household H4). All values are per year, for standard profiles. Municipality level is an approximation; your exact amount depends on deductions, wealth, deductible choice and your address. If a component is missing for a municipality, it stays grey and is never guessed.

Children calculated as insurers do: 1st and 2nd child usually at the full child rate, from the 3rd child with a sibling discount at many insurers. Calculated per insurer, then the median across all insurers.
