Summary
If you make CHF 57'888 a year living in the region of Geneva, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 12'001. That means that your net pay will be CHF 45'887 per year, or CHF 3'824 per month. Your average tax rate is 20.7% and your marginal tax rate is 36.4%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
