Summary
If you make CHF 26'700 a year living in the region of Basel-Landschaft, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 2'996. That means that your net pay will be CHF 23'704 per year, or CHF 1'975 per month. Your average tax rate is 11.2% and your marginal tax rate is 21.2%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
