Real tax rate
21.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 10.1% tax rate now rises to 21.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make CHF 2'150 a year living in the region of Solothurn, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 216. That means that your net pay will be CHF 1'934 per year, or CHF 161 per month. Your average tax rate is 10.1% 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.
