What does help cost in Geneva?
You agree the price directly with your tasker — Werkara adds nothing on top. Geneva has a binding cantonal minimum wage of CHF 24.59 gross per hour (2026) and some of the highest living costs in Switzerland, so offers usually sit at the upper end of the usual Swiss rates — for cleaning often above them:
| Job | Usual rate in Switzerland |
|---|---|
| Cleaning and household help | CHF 30–40 / hour |
| Furniture assembly and small repairs | CHF 40–60 / hour |
| Garden maintenance | CHF 35–50 / hour |
| Dog sitting | CHF 25–35 per walk |
| Tutoring | CHF 30–50 / hour |
Guide prices, as of October 2026
For comparison: cleaning platforms in Geneva charge about CHF 37.90 an hour with a 2.5-hour minimum[5]. A move with a removal company costs CHF 2,000–6,000[14].
Everyday help in Geneva: what to know
Local facts that matter when you need something done in Geneva — or want to earn with it.
Fair pay is the law here
CHF 24.59
minimum gross hourly wage in Geneva (2026)
Geneva is the only canton with its own contract for domestic work: CHF 24.59–26.78 an hour depending on qualification. Cleaning platforms charge about CHF 37.90 an hour. Prices below the minimum are not a bargain — they are illegal.
An international city
33,285
people work for international organisations and missions
38 international organisations with 29,011 staff, and half of all residents are foreign nationals. Many newcomers need moving help, furniture assembly and a quick booking — in English. Werkara works in English, French, German and Italian.
Dogs in Geneva
26
dog zones in the city, 13 of them fenced
More than 10,000 dogs live in the city. The dog tax is CHF 100 for the first dog. Dogs must be leashed in public space, in forests from 1 April to 15 July; off-leash only in the zones — for example Bois de la Bâtie, Plaine de Plainpalais or Parc La Grange.
Moving in Geneva
0.37 %
of the city’s flats were empty on 1 June 2026
Only 427 vacant dwellings in the city; the canton is at 0.31 %, the second-lowest level since 2001. Every move has a hard deadline. A move with a removal company costs CHF 2,000–6,000 — booking carrying help and end-of-lease cleaning early pays off.

How much does a cleaner cost in Geneva?
Usual Swiss rates for cleaning and household help are CHF 30–40 an hour, and Geneva offers are at the upper end: the cantonal minimum wage is CHF 24.59 gross an hour, and the domestic-work contract sets CHF 24.59–26.78 depending on qualification[3] [4].

Are there Werkara taskers in my neighbourhood of Geneva?
Your task goes to taskers in and around Geneva — from Eaux-Vives and Plainpalais to Champel, Servette and the neighbouring communes such as Carouge, Lancy and Vernier. Werkara launched in 2026, so the number of taskers varies from quarter to quarter; post your task anyway, and if no offer comes in we contact you as soon as someone is available.
How quickly will I get offers in Geneva?
Geneva is one of Werkara’s largest markets, and simple tasks such as cleaning or furniture assembly usually get offers on the same day. Rarer requests can take longer. Your task is sent to taskers near you immediately after posting.
Does the Geneva minimum wage apply to taskers?
Geneva’s minimum wage of CHF 24.59 gross an hour applies to employees, and domestic work in private households is covered by the cantonal contract with CHF 24.59–26.78 an hour[3] [4]. Taskers on Werkara are independent and set their own price, and in practice offers in Geneva are oriented at this level and above. If you employ someone in your household directly, the cantonal rules apply to you as the employer.
Can I post a task in English in Geneva?
Yes. Werkara works in English, French, German and Italian. Half of Geneva’s residents are foreign nationals[1], and many taskers reply in English — you can describe your task in whichever language you prefer.
