Is teaching pay set by a fixed scale?
In most countries, public school teachers are paid on a national or regional pay scale based on years of experience and qualifications, so individual negotiation matters less than in private-sector roles. Private and international schools can pay more.
Does subject or school level affect pay?
Generally less than seniority does, though some countries pay a premium for hard-to-fill subjects (e.g. maths, sciences) or for teaching in disadvantaged areas, and secondary-school teachers often earn slightly more than primary-school teachers.

On a typical CHF 103,100 gross salary, a Teacher in Switzerland takes home around CHF 75,611 a year, or CHF 6,301 a month, after income tax and social security (effective rate 26.7%).
