Summary
If you make CHF 24'600 a year living in the region of Valais, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 2'342. That means that your net pay will be CHF 22'258 per year, or CHF 1'855 per month. Your average tax rate is 9.5% and your marginal tax rate is 16.9%. 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 16.90, hence, your net pay will only increase by CHF 83.10.
