Zurich and Geneva ranked above San Francisco for disposable income in Deutsche Bank’s 2026 survey of 69 global cities, based on a two-income household renting a three-bedroom apartment.
Zurich posted a salary index of 476 and Geneva 457 against New York’s 100 baseline, showing that even very high living costs still leave Swiss households with the most spending power.
Luxembourg and Boston completed the top five for purchasing power, while Manila placed last in the global ranking.
The result underscores how Switzerland’s two main financial hubs combine high pay with enough net income to outstrip other expensive global cities.
