Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer CHF 4'650 to pay you CHF 29'000. In other words, every time you spend CHF 10 of your hard-earned money, CHF 2.85 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
24.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 12.5% tax rate now rises to 24.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make CHF 29'000 a year living in the region of Uri, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 3'613. That means that your net pay will be CHF 25'387 per year, or CHF 2'116 per month. Your average tax rate is 12.5% 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.
