Results are calculated based on complex algorithms by moneyland.ch and the following factors:
- The guarantee of editorial independence applies.
- Account user profiles are explained in detail here.
- The costs displayed are the total costs minus interest. Consequently, they may be negative if interest income exceeds total costs.
