Real tax rate

Summary
If you make CHF 8'000 a year living in the region of Ticino, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 564. That means that your net pay will be CHF 7'436 per year, or CHF 620 per month. Your average tax rate is 7.1% and your marginal tax rate is 6.8%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
