A second child pays the same premium as the first: no insurer files a reduced premium for a second child in 2026. 15 of the 23 insurers present in Schaffhausen file a reduced premium from a certain number of children insured with them, at a 0 CHF deductible and without accident cover:

The others file none. Each insurer sets the conditions of this discount, usually the whole family insured with it.

The large amount is the FOPH-approved premium — the same one as on priminfo.admin.ch, shown under each price — less the redistribution of the environmental levies (the CO₂ levy and the VOC incentive tax). In 2026 every insured person in Switzerland receives 61.80 CHF, which their insurer deducts from the premium invoices: 5.15 CHF a month, the same amount for everyone, whatever the insurer, the model or the deductible. The ranking is therefore unchanged. This amount is not necessarily your final invoice: your canton’s individual premium reduction or a discount for annual payment are added where they apply. For example, the approved premium of 97.10 CHF at Assura (PharMed) gives 91.95 CHF after redistribution.

Your cancellation must reach your current insurer by 30 November 2025 at the latest; the change takes effect on 1 January 2026. The premiums on this page are those approved by the FOPH for 2026.
