Summary
If you make CHF 49'915 a year living in the region of Thurgau, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 8'695. That means that your net pay will be CHF 41'220 per year, or CHF 3'435 per month. Your average tax rate is 17.4% and your marginal tax rate is 28.5%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
