Real tax rate

Summary
If you make CHF 36'504 a year living in the region of Aargau, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 4'990. That means that your net pay will be CHF 31'515 per year, or CHF 2'626 per month. Your average tax rate is 13.7% and your marginal tax rate is 27.6%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of CHF 100 in your salary will be taxed CHF 27.56, hence, your net pay will only increase by CHF 72.44.
