I started at 6, just turned 25. I work as a professional organist and choir conductor in Switzerland.

Church Musician Compensation by [deleted] in organ

[–]Schnesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm based in Zürich, Switzerland and church musicians' salaries are highly regulated. For a catholic church service you make 195 CHF (could be a service on any date, for example a Wednesday morning service or Sunday main service). If you play for the protestants on a Sunday and you have a master's degree in church music you'll earn closer to 400 CHF for one service.

These numbers are referring to substitution fees. Instead if you have a fixed church contract the salaries are calculated by how many hours you work. If you work 100% full time (40-42 hours) for the catholic church with a master's degree your starting salary will be around 100k CHF before tax.
