Summary
If you make CHF 13'260 a year living in the region of Vaud, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 902. That means that your net pay will be CHF 12'358 per year, or CHF 1'030 per month. Your average tax rate is 6.8% and your marginal tax rate is 6.8%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
