Summary
If you make CHF 24'456 a year living in the region of Nidwalden, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 2'487. That means that your net pay will be CHF 21'969 per year, or CHF 1'831 per month. Your average tax rate is 10.2% and your marginal tax rate is 20.3%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
