Premium regions in the canton of Ticino

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 2026.

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 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 — never guessed.
