Real tax rate

Summary
If you make CHF 12'300 a year living in the region of Obwalden, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 836. That means that your net pay will be CHF 11'464 per year, or CHF 955 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. For instance, an increase of CHF 100 in your salary will be taxed CHF 6.80, hence, your net pay will only increase by CHF 93.20.
