With the exception of some specific areas, there is no minimum wage in Switzerland, but there are unions and regulations that determine the acceptable minimum pay. Regardless, the minimum hourly wage is around 19 CHF (17,2 EUR; 19,1 USD). In rural areas it can be lower, and in larger cities it's higher, but so will be your cost of living. Sounds like a lot of money, but many fees and taxes that in other countries get taken automatically from your paycheck, here you have to pay them by yourself after you receive the money. A while ago I did the math and with all the stuff I'm obligated to pay, if it was a tax it would be close to 40%.
