Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.8% tax rate now rises to 41.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make CHF 130'112 a year living in the region of Bern, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 40'064. That means that your net pay will be CHF 90'048 per year, or CHF 7'504 per month. Your average tax rate is 30.8% and your marginal tax rate is 41.8%. 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 41.80, hence, your net pay will only increase by CHF 58.20.
