Earnings & Investment
What you'll earn in Switzerland
Physiotherapists in Switzerland earn 2-3x more than in most EU countries. And it's not just the salary: lower taxes, strong benefits, and a high quality of life mean you actually keep more of what you earn.
Most physios who move with takeoff save €1,500-2,000 per month, even after rent and living costs. The higher cost of living? More than offset by your salary.

What you keep after rent and living costs
Better German → higher salary. Language investment pays off directly.
SRK recognition is valid for life. No renewal fees, no mandatory points.
Your investment to get there
Total investment
€1,500 - €2,200
takeoff's guidance is 100% free. These are third-party costs you'd pay regardless.
Language & Preparation
Your German doesn't have to be perfect
You don't need to speak German right now. But you will need to learn it before you start working. We help you get there, step by step.
B2 level is required for SRK recognition
Medical German is easier than you think: structured, repetitive, practical
Better German = higher salary. Every level up pays off directly
