How your tax is calculated

These are federal direct tax rates: after the CHF 14,500 deduction, the first CHF 50,000 is taxed at 8%, then 14% to CHF 100,000, 20% to CHF 200,000 and 26% above. AHV/IV/ALV social insurance adds about 6.5%. Cantonal and municipal taxes vary a lot between communes and are not included. Your marginal rate is 14% — every additional CHF 1 you earn keeps roughly CHF 0.86 after tax and AHV/ALV.
