Summary
If you make CHF 4'550 a year living in the region of Glarus, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 309. That means that your net pay will be CHF 4'241 per year, or CHF 353 per month. Your average tax rate is 6.8% and your marginal tax rate is 6.8%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
