Summary
If you make CHF 65'707 a year living in the region of Basel-Landschaft, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 15'114. That means that your net pay will be CHF 50'593 per year, or CHF 4'216 per month. Your average tax rate is 23.0% and your marginal tax rate is 36.3%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
