The amount shown is the FOPH-approved premium, the same one as on priminfo.admin.ch, less the redistribution of the environmental levies (the CO₂ levy and the VOC incentive tax). In 2026 every insured person receives 61.80 CHF, which the insurer deducts from the invoices: 5.15 CHF a month, the same amount for everyone. The approved premium of 486.30 CHF at Assura therefore gives 481.15 CHF; the ranking does not change. Your invoice may still differ, for example with your canton’s individual premium reduction.
