Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer CHF 107'330 to pay you CHF 852'000. In other words, every time you spend CHF 10 of your hard-earned money, CHF 5.87 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
52.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 46.1% tax rate now rises to 52.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make CHF 852'000 a year living in the region of Bern, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 392'551. That means that your net pay will be CHF 459'449 per year, or CHF 38'287 per month. Your average tax rate is 46.1% and your marginal tax rate is 48.9%. 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 48.90, hence, your net pay will only increase by CHF 51.10.
