Summary
If you make CHF 299'000 a year living in the region of Uri, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 87'942. That means that your net pay will be CHF 211'058 per year, or CHF 17'588 per month. Your average tax rate is 29.4% and your marginal tax rate is 34.5%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
