Real tax rate

Summary
If you make CHF 69'000 a year living in the region of St. Gallen, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 16'187. That means that your net pay will be CHF 52'813 per year, or CHF 4'401 per month. Your average tax rate is 23.5% and your marginal tax rate is 34.0%. 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 33.96, hence, your net pay will only increase by CHF 66.04.
