Summary
If you make CHF 260 a year living in the region of Ticino, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 37.90. That means that your net pay will be CHF 222 per year, or CHF 18.51 per month. Your average tax rate is 14.6% and your marginal tax rate is 6.5%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
