Great post! 🙂
One question, I was not able to understand the total donations calculation here:
"Difference: EUR 865.25/month 12x865.25 = EUR 10,383 13th salary = EUR 4,834.25 Total difference: EUR 15,217.25 Total donations: EUR 43’592.09"
Can you help me understand how do you calculate total donations here? Is it an annual number?

Hey Markus, thanks, and thanks for asking, I made a mistake there and I'm glad you and another friend who is coincidentally also named Markus pointed it out.
Yes, it's supposed to be the amount one could (conservatively estimated) donate within the first year of residency in Switzerland.
I made the mistake of adding up the "difference in donations" and the "monthly remaining" with the Swiss income (2,364.57 * 12 + 15217.25 = 43592.09). That doesn't make sense.
I have now corrected it to 2,364.57 * 12 + 4,834.25 = 33209.09 in annual donations.
Interesting! For someone considering to join as a first timer - where exactly in Berlin would that happen?
