Real tax rate

Summary
If you make CHF 18'900 a year living in the region of Appenzell Ausserrhoden, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 1'707. That means that your net pay will be CHF 17'193 per year, or CHF 1'433 per month. Your average tax rate is 9.0% and your marginal tax rate is 17.9%. 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 17.90, hence, your net pay will only increase by CHF 82.10.
