Summary
If you make CHF 475'000 a year living in the region of Bern, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 205'397. That means that your net pay will be CHF 269'603 per year, or CHF 22'467 per month. Your average tax rate is 43.2% and your marginal tax rate is 49.4%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
