Summary
If you make CHF 29'400 a year living in the region of Basel-Stadt, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 2'885. That means that your net pay will be CHF 26'515 per year, or CHF 2'210 per month. Your average tax rate is 9.8% and your marginal tax rate is 22.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
