Summary
If you make CHF 37'000 a year living in the region of Uri, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 5'615. That means that your net pay will be CHF 31'385 per year, or CHF 2'615 per month. Your average tax rate is 15.2% and your marginal tax rate is 25.4%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
