What does help cost in Lausanne?
You agree the price directly with your tasker — Werkara adds nothing on top. Vaud has no cantonal minimum wage in force yet — voters accepted the principle in June 2026 but no law [6]; for household work the federal floor of CHF 20.35–24.55 an hour applies [7]. Offers in Lausanne usually sit in the middle of the usual Swiss rates, below Geneva:
| 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 charge CHF 42.90 an hour in Vaud with a 2.5-hour minimum[8]. Moving a 3.5-room flat with a company costs about CHF 1,200–1,800[13].
Everyday help in Lausanne: what to know
Local facts that matter when you need something done in Lausanne — or want to earn with it.
Three moving dates a year
3
official termination dates: 1 April, 1 July, 1 October
Unless the lease says otherwise, these are the dates on which Lausanne tenancies end, with three to four months’ notice. Vacancy in the district is 0.63 %, so everybody moves on the same days — book carrying help and end-of-lease cleaning early. A 3.5-room move with a company costs about CHF 1,200–1,800.

49.4 %
of Lausanne households are one person
37,286 of 75,537 households have a single member, and 43 % of residents are foreign nationals. No partner, no handy neighbour — that is why small tasks like assembly, cleaning and carrying help are in demand.
