Summary
If you make CHF 240 a year living in the region of Geneva, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 51.60. That means that your net pay will be CHF 188 per year, or CHF 15.70 per month. Your average tax rate is 21.5% and your marginal tax rate is 6.5%. 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 6.50, hence, your net pay will only increase by CHF 93.50.
