Real tax rate
19.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 7.6% tax rate now rises to 19.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make CHF 12'540 a year living in the region of Uri, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 953. That means that your net pay will be CHF 11'587 per year, or CHF 966 per month. Your average tax rate is 7.6% and your marginal tax rate is 6.8%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
