Real tax rate

Summary
If you make CHF 840 a year living in the region of Uri, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 157. That means that your net pay will be CHF 683 per year, or CHF 56.90 per month. Your average tax rate is 18.7% and your marginal tax rate is 7.2%. 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 7.20, hence, your net pay will only increase by CHF 92.80.
