Perform tax simulations

Life is full of changes, whether professional or personal — and each one carries tax implications. Our articles and videos provide useful guidance, but some situations require a tailored analysis. That’s why FBKConseils offers precise tax simulations, allowing you to freely project your ideas while we calculate their impact.

A wide range of simulations: Retirement, Taxes & Real Estate

Based in the heart of Lausanne, we primarily support clients in the cantons of Vaud, Geneva, and Valais.

Our simulations cover a broad range of topics:

  • Real estate: purchase, sale, rental, and related taxation.
  • Retirement: planning, mid-career optimization, pension fund withdrawals.
  • Taxation: marriage, relocation, salary increase, transition to self-employment, tax optimization.

Whatever your question, if it can be quantified, we can provide a clear, data-driven answer.e.

Simulations in person or as a written report

Every client has their own way of approaching a study.

  • For some, the goal is to ask specific questions and receive written answers.
  • For others, a simulation is more interactive — a brainstorming session where scenarios evolve in real time.

That’s why we offer two approaches:

Or you prefer a collaborative meeting (in our offices or via videoconference). In this case, you don’t leave with a written document, but you can test scenarios live, ask unlimited questions, and refine your choices in real time.uestions et d’affiner vos choix en temps réel.

You share your questions and essential information with us, we prepare a fixed-price quote, and then deliver a full PDF report with our answers and simulations.

Studies that help you learn

All our clients have one thing in common: they identified a financial or tax issue and wanted to understand its consequences before making a decision. Our approach goes beyond delivering numbers. We take the time to explain the tax and economic rules behind our results.

Our goal is for you to leave not only with answers, but also with new knowledge that will help you anticipate future decisions.

A cost-effective option within our tax return service

All tax-related simulations are based on a complete tax return. If we have already prepared your return, the cost of a simulation is significantly reduced, since we already have your baseline data. Otherwise, we must first rebuild your tax profile before running alternative scenarios.

Frequently asked questions about Tax Simulations with FBKConseils

As explained above, the cost depends mainly on the simulation method you choose. If you book a time slot (generally between one and three hours), we charge for the actual time spent at an hourly rate of CHF 195. If you prefer a fixed-price simulation, the quote will be discussed during the free introductory meeting, then confirmed by email before any work begins. In practice, the cost of simulations ranges from around CHF 200 for the simplest cases to approximately CHF 1,000 for more complex files requiring in-depth analysis.

Every simulation begins with a free 20-minute introductory meeting to clearly define your situation and expectations. After this initial exchange, two approaches are possible:

  • Collaborative mode: you receive a link to book your preferred date, time, and duration. During the session, you can explore scenarios with us and ask all your questions in real time.
  • Asynchronous mode: you provide the necessary information, we run the simulation internally, and you receive the report by email (usually within one week). A follow-up call or video meeting can be arranged for additional clarifications.
  • There is no single answer, since simulations vary widely. During the free introductory meeting, we determine exactly which documents are needed for your case. In most situations, because these are simulations (not official procedures), documents play a secondary role. What matters most are the figures used as the basis for our calculations. The more accurate and detailed your data, the closer the simulation will reflect your actual financial and tax situation.

    Timing depends on the season and the complexity of your request. On average, you can expect about one week. The turnaround may be shorter during quieter periods (e.g., summer) and slightly longer during peak tax season (January to June). In any case, FBKConseils will always confirm the exact timeframe before you commit, ensuring complete transparency.

    Real estate is one of the most complex areas in terms of taxation and economics. Whether it’s:

  • Selling a property (capital gains tax),
  • Renting (short- or long-term),
  • Purchasing a home (impact on taxable wealth and the debated rental value),
  • Transfers, creating a real estate company, or investing abroad
  • Each step carries significant tax consequences. All these situations can be modeled through detailed simulations, and in many cases, we strongly recommend doing so to avoid surprises and make informed decisions.

    Tax optimization varies greatly depending on your profile. For employees, relevant simulations might include:

  • The tax impact of moving to another canton.
  • Pension fund buybacks.
  • Contributions to pillar 3a.
  • Since recently, buybacks into an existing pillar 3a.
  • Other life events — marriage, buying property, or certain investments — are also important levers for optimization. The advantage of simulations is that you can quantify the exact tax impact of your decisions in advance.

    For entrepreneurs and business owners, simulations are crucial. They allow you to:

  • Analyze the best legal structure.
  • Determine the optimal mix between salary and dividends.
  • Assess the value of company shares.
  • Factor in deductible expenses, depreciation, and pension contributions.
  • For independent professionals and SMEs, issues like succession, business transfer, or sale are particularly strategic and often require in-depth studies. At FBKConseils, the first consultation is always free, so we can determine how best to support you.

    Switzerland’s retirement system is based on three pillars: AVS (1st), occupational pension (2nd), and private savings (3rd). While the system is legally defined, the outcomes vary widely depending on each career path and savings strategy. Our simulations allow you to:

  • Accurately estimate your future pensions.
  • Anticipate the taxes on these benefits.
  • Compare lump-sum withdrawals versus annuities from the 2nd pillar.
  • Calculate retirement needs and assess current coverage.
  • In short, they help you see clearly and, when time allows, make strategic adjustments before it’s too late.
