Summary
If you make CHF 15'950 a year living in the region of Schaffhausen, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 1'145. That means that your net pay will be CHF 14'805 per year, or CHF 1'234 per month. Your average tax rate is 7.2% and your marginal tax rate is 7.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
