Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer CHF 26'265 to pay you CHF 140'000. In other words, every time you spend CHF 10 of your hard-earned money, CHF 4.98 goes to the government.
Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.1% tax rate now rises to 42.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make CHF 140'000 a year living in the region of Solothurn, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 43'500. That means that your net pay will be CHF 96'500 per year, or CHF 8'042 per month. Your average tax rate is 31.1% and your marginal tax rate is 41.0%. 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 41.01, hence, your net pay will only increase by CHF 58.99.
