Total tax paid
CHF 79'997
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer CHF 29'123 to pay you CHF 159'900. In other words, every time you spend CHF 10 of your hard-earned money, CHF 5 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
42.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.8% tax rate now rises to 42.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
