Summary
If you make CHF 20'900 a year living in the region of Uri, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 1'687. That means that your net pay will be CHF 19'213 per year, or CHF 1'601 per month. Your average tax rate is 8.1% and your marginal tax rate is 25.3%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of CHF 100 in your salary will be taxed CHF 25.26, hence, your net pay will only increase by CHF 74.74.
