Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 11.9% tax rate now rises to 24.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 12.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make CHF 31'308 a year living in the region of Valais, Switzerland, you will be taxed CHF 3'740. That means that your net pay will be CHF 27'568 per year, or CHF 2'297 per month. Your average tax rate is 12.0% 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.
