Real tax rate
23.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 11.3% tax rate now rises to 23.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make CHF 26'000 a year living in the region of Uri, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 2'946. That means that your net pay will be CHF 23'054 per year, or CHF 1'921 per month. Your average tax rate is 11.3% and your marginal tax rate is 22.3%. 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 22.26, hence, your net pay will only increase by CHF 77.74.
