Real tax rate

Summary
If you make CHF 60'500 a year living in the region of Jura, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 12'519. That means that your net pay will be CHF 47'981 per year, or CHF 3'998 per month. Your average tax rate is 20.7% and your marginal tax rate is 32.8%. 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 32.80, hence, your net pay will only increase by CHF 67.20.
