Real tax rate

Summary
If you make CHF 1'050 a year living in the region of Uri, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 171. That means that your net pay will be CHF 879 per year, or CHF 73.22 per month. Your average tax rate is 16.3% and your marginal tax rate is 6.8%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
