Real tax rate

Summary
If you make CHF 17'150 a year living in the region of Schaffhausen, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 1'236. That means that your net pay will be CHF 15'914 per year, or CHF 1'326 per month. Your average tax rate is 7.2% and your marginal tax rate is 10.6%. 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 10.60, hence, your net pay will only increase by CHF 89.40.
