Real tax rate

Summary
If you make CHF 2'550 a year living in the region of Solothurn, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 243. That means that your net pay will be CHF 2'307 per year, or CHF 192 per month. Your average tax rate is 9.6% 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.
