Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 40.7% tax rate now rises to 48.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make CHF 335'000 a year living in the region of Bern, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 136'423. That means that your net pay will be CHF 198'577 per year, or CHF 16'548 per month. Your average tax rate is 40.7% and your marginal tax rate is 49.1%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
