Real tax rate

Summary
If you make CHF 30'000 a year living in the region of Valais, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 3'404. That means that your net pay will be CHF 26'596 per year, or CHF 2'216 per month. Your average tax rate is 11.4% and your marginal tax rate is 25.7%. 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 25.72, hence, your net pay will only increase by CHF 74.28.
