Total tax paid
CHF 3'591
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer CHF 2'430 to pay you CHF 15'950. In other words, every time you spend CHF 10 of your hard-earned money, CHF 2.25 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
19.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 7.3% tax rate now rises to 19.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
