Summary
If you make CHF 4'600 a year living in the region of Basel-Landschaft, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 325. That means that your net pay will be CHF 4'275 per year, or CHF 356 per month. Your average tax rate is 7.1% and your marginal tax rate is 7.5%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
